Unimplemented SPARC system calls



I've recently installed woody on an IPX (and updated to the 2.2.20
kernel and I've noticed the following oddities in dmesg:

init[1]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 69
portmap[104]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 87
cp[123]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 69
mv[142]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 69
inetd[176]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 53
lpd[182]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 69

Is everyone else seeing these messages also?

I looked at include/asm-sparc/unistd.h in the 2.2.20 source tree and
found the following entries for those system calls:

/* #define __NR_mctl             53    SunOS specific */
/* #define __NR_sbrk             69    SunOS Specific */
/* #define __NR_gethostname      87    SunOS Specific */

I also looked at the same file in a 2.4.14 source tree and found:

#define __NR_getgid32            53 /* Linux sparc32 specific */
#define __NR_geteuid32           69 /* Linux sparc32, sbrk under SunOS */
#define __NR_setuid32            87 /* Linux sparc32, gethostname under SunOS*/

This, combined with the problems with sudo make me wonder if
sparc-woody is 2.4-centric and if I am mistaken in using a 2.2 kernel.

Thanks for any insights...
