I've tried to look into this on my mips machine, but all seems to work
as expected:
steve@mallet:~$ zless /usr/share/doc/libc6/changelog.Debian.gz
steve@mallet:~$ cat >t.c
int
main(int argc,char * argv[]) {return system(argv[1]);}
steve@mallet:~$ cc -g t.c -o t
steve@mallet:~$ ./t "echo g"
g
steve@mallet:~$ cc -g -pg t.c -o t
steve@mallet:~$ ./t "echo g"
g
steve@mallet:~$ dpkg -s libc6 | grep Version:
Version: 2.3.6.ds1-4
One difference to point out is that I'm using a 2.6 kernel on this
machine:
steve@mallet:~$ uname -a
Linux mallet 2.6.16-1-r5k-ip32 #1 Mon Apr 3 18:39:05 UTC 2006 mips64
GNU/Linux
which might explain it. I don't have any mipsen running 2.4 atm. Camm,
can you still reproduce this?
Ah, hang on - you reported this on vaughan, which is mips*el*. It
seems to be locked down atm, so I can't take a look myself atm on
there...
