The culprit is elsewhere. The glibc's syscall number translator script
doesn't work with asm-mips/unistd.h as of Linux 2.6 (you could have
probably used 2.4 headers instead; I'm not sure if that is compatible with
"--enable-kernel=2.6.0", though). A correct fix has been prepared and
proposed by Richard Sandiford and is available here:
"http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2004-11/msg00097.html";. I would
expect this patch to have been applied before 2.3.4, but apparently this
hasn't happened. That's regrettable and I fear it's the result of glibc
being somewhat inadequately maintained for MIPS/Linux these days, sigh...
I'm not sure what the maintenance plan is for the 2.3 branch of glibc,
but if 2.3.5 is ever going to happen, the Richard's patch is one of the
must-have additions.

The debian patch I referenced is what we require for glibc to generate a
proper syscalls.h for 2.4 kernels. Unknown on the 2.6 kernel front how that
patch affects things. I'll have to see if this patch affects/changes anything
for either headers version.
