Oops. I meant to say the accept4 syscall. It is not implemented in the Alpha kernel! I don't know how we missed that one. And glibc source has a comment in the file ./sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/kernel-features.h that the accept4 syscall is in the Alpha kernel since version 2.6.33-rc1. The author of that comment (who will know who he is) was sadly misinformed. I will prepare a kernel patch immediately for this. It will have to go upstream first before we can take it back into the Debian kernel as an official syscall number needs to be allocated. In the meantime people: if you plan on upgrading your system place a hold on udev to keep it at version 166-1.
