Reported by Jakub Jelinek. 2000-01-29 Jakub Jelinek <jakub@redhat.com> * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc/sparc32/sysdep.h (SYSCALL_ERROR_HANDLER): Optimize. (__SYSCALL_STRING, __SYSCALL_CLOBBERS): Define. Include linux/sparc/sysdep.h. Use a different guard define than linux/sparc/sysdep.h. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc/sparc32/syscalls.list: Remove stubs for inlined syscalls. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc/sparc64/sysdep.h (SYSCALL_ERROR_HANDLER): Optimize. (__SYSCALL_STRING, __SYSCALL_CLOBBERS): Define. Include linux/sparc/sysdep.h. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc/sparc64/syscalls.list: Remove stubs for inlined syscalls. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc/sparc64/sigaction.c (__sigaction): Use INLINE_SYSCALL. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc/sparc64/Makefile: Remove. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc/sysdep.h: New file. 2000-01-29 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com>
