Well, I admit I haven't looked at the actual code, but from the comments in the patch I get the impression that it just causes db to use the same code (i.e. pthread_mutex_xx) on ARM as it already was doing on every other architecture. I think it's safe to say that pthread_mutex_lock() on ARM probably does work, otherwise any number of programs would be broken, and db probably does work with pthread_mutex_lock generically otherwise it would be broken on x86 and so on. You're right of course that this specific combination could do with some testing but all in all it seems like a fairly low-risk change. p. -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
