Yes. We'd need someone to look over the mips(el) cmpxchg to make an adaptation for the new glibc-based locking primitivs. I've CC:ed Guilhem, who can supply the details. I think he needs a specific variant of cmpxchg which returns the old value. I'm looking forward to patches, in particular to get the jit flying again on mips ;( The new package should be uploaded today, thanks to Arnaud. cheers, dalibor topic -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
