Huh? What have you been smoking Alex? Apparently you've failed to notice
DIY also targets Glibc-2.4? Sheesh..  Not only that, the syscalls patch is
for the benefit of the new *at syscalls which Glibc-2.4 provides functions
for. Please get your facts straight before making such foolish statements.

This is OT here but for the record, DIY makes no attempt to backport
Glibc's inotify support to Glibc-2.3.x because IMHO it is simply not
required. Most inotify-aware applications I've come across don't
absolutely require inotify support from Glibc. Any that do are broken IMHO.
