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

[Sameer Naik <sameer.subscriptions@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am actually using the 'mips-4.3-51-mips-linux-gnu' toolchain and not
the 4.4 version. On inspection i found that the glibc used is version
2.8 and does not have the required patch.

Thanks and Regards
~Sameer
