Update.
2002-12-19 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/system.c: Define FORK only if __ASSUME_CLONE_THREAD_FLAGS is defined. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/kernel-features.h (__ASSUME_CLONE_THREAD_FLAGS): Define for x86 and kernel >= 2.5.50. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/brk.c: Use INTERNAL_SYSCALL instead of asm. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/sigaction.c: Likewise.
