I am not able to apply such a patch. First of all
linuxthreads/sysdep/unix/sysv/linux/not-cancel.h does not exists. There
is a sysdep/unix/sysv/linux/not-cancel.h, but it does not have the code
you describe.

Moreover a search for INLINE_SYSCALL.*osf_wait4 in the sources returns
nothing.

Please provide us a working *patch* for glibc 2.3.6 if you want the
problem to be fixed in Etch.
