What is the status of > this configuration? Has the glibc/kernel ABI been finalized? Not yet. I am still working out the signal handling part. But we already agreed on 64bit time_t, clock_t, and suseconds_t. And we agreed to a 64bit offset_t too. On a related note suseconds in the timespec in posix is defined to be long. So it would nice if the kernel ignores the upper 32bits so we (glibc developers) can fix this for new targets including x32 and arm64/ilp32. Thanks, Andrew > > Thanks, > Chung-Lin >
