My patch is against glibc/linuxthreads-2.1.1 (actually against
RedHat's glibc-2.1.1-6, but they should apply to vanilla
glibc-2.1.[12] also). Currently the patch only includes support for
x86. You can download it at
<URL:http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~dpw/linux/glibc-2.1.1-ppid.patch>. I
have also put a recent version of Tim's kernel patch at
<URL:http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~dpw/linux/linux-2.2.10-ppid.patch>
Once you have rebuilt glibc with the patch, the easiest way to test
the changes is to place the libc and libpthread binaries into a
directory and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that your existing LinuxThreads
program will use them. I have put a tar files containing prebuilt
libraries at
<URL:http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~dpw/linux/ppid-libs-0.1.i386.tar.gz>
(these are from RedHat's glibc-2.1.1-6, with my patch added).
Any feedback will be gratefully received, but I'm away on vacation for
a week from today so it might take me a while to get back to you.
Regards,
David Wragg
