I am wrestling with glibc (or libc 6) usage on 2.0.33.
I am having stat and lstat problem on nfs mounted
file systems. I have read several threads noting
the incompatibilities.

The 2.0.33 kernel has many data types that are 16 bits; where
glibc has the same data types as 32 bits. I know that
Bill Hawes has done a lot of work in this area on
2.1.x. Has anyone done patches to 2.0.33 that allow
it to properly interface with glibc? I have reviewed
several posts that indicate the direction is to have
a set of kernel headers and a set of libc headers.
Unfortunately, moving to 2.1.x is not a valid option
at this time.

Thanks in advance.
