FWIW, this doesn't translate well into idiomatic English. :) I think you
mean that you're desperate to find a fix?

You should not be using epoll on alpha either, I'm afraid, because it's a
2.6-only syscall and this means upgrades for stable will break for people
running the 2.4 kernel from sarge.
You also should not be using syscall1 explicitly, you should be using the
glibc interfaces...
Do you have a reference to why rtsigio is broken only on alpha?
