Re: building eglibc 2.9 with enable-oldest-abi=2.9 for i486-pc-linux-gnu

If you bump up the oldest ABI, then you will have to also fix any of
the hard-coded versions and move them to 2.9 also.

In my opinion it is a very bad hack to encode the version numbers in
the syscalls.list, but at present there is no framework to dynamically
adjust the symbol name in assembly wrapper around the syscall. Someone
would have to work out a framework, and submit that upstream.

Cheers,
Carlos.
