Hi David. Thanks for that. I thought that was probably just missed, but didn't want to waste time patching it back in, if it was fundamentally broken elsewhere.
It should work under 2.6, our existing systems using uClinux are built using a heavily modified *very* old uClinux-dist with a 2.6 kernel and they are all using shared flat libraries. Guess I'd better get to it. Thanks again.
