Another possibility is to backport some of the changes from glibc 2.4 that uses the /proc interface for these sysconf calls to get the values from the currently running kernel. This would fix things once and for all, but this might be too invasive for Sarge to accept.

No need to go to glibc 2.4. sysconf in glibc 2.3.6 in etch already uses
/proc according to strace.


Hmmm... Thanks for that piece of info. I guess I'll cook up a patch for 2.3.2 and see Sarge excepts it. I can dream, can't I. :)
