           Summary: psmisc: compile error of peekfd
           Product: Codex
           Version: test grimoire
          Platform: x86-64

        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: utils

In version 22.4 of psmisc there is a new program called peekfd to examine file
descriptors of processes, that doesn't seem to compile on anything but x86.
Version 22.3 in stable-0.9 does not contain peekfd and compiles on x86_64.

=====compile.log, full log is attached=====
<snip>
peekfd.c: In function 'main':
peekfd.c:181: error: 'struct user_regs_struct' has no member named 'orig_eax'
<snip> ... four errors for each of the 32bit multi purpose registers
=====


Upstream has a bug in their database about it:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1702927&group_id=15273&atid=115273

I've found the same bug at
http://www.nabble.com/forum/ViewPost.jtp?post=10035670&framed=y
where their hack for the problem is to disable the compilation of peekfd on
anything not i386. I personally don't like this way of solving a bug and would
rather wait for upstream to fix it.

I have attached a patch for:

delve -c start config_loc psmisc
cd /usr/src/psmisc-22.4
patch -p1 < $ATTACHED_PATCH
delve -c BUILD end psmisc

but I don't know what architectures to check for to selectively apply this
patch, so I'm not about to do any changes to git regarding this bug.
