[mips-gnu-discuss] Re: getcontext issue in mips-4.4-203-mips-linux-gnu-i686-pc-linux-gnu

[Sameer Naik <sameer.subscriptions@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Looking at the codesourcery toolchain source packages, i found that
the toolchain uses glibc-2.11 and the aforementioned fix is already in
place in the glibc_ports package.

Can you please help me figuring the issue.

Thanks and Regards
~Sameer
