Hmm, indeed. It's probably useful to notice that I booted and mounted =20
everything from an other-endian system (sparc). More, if I mount a =20
directory with extracted base and etc (RC5 sets) from my (x86) laptop =20
and chroot to that, uids are not swapped.

Can somebody confirm this is cobalt or mipsel specific? Chrooting to an =20
nfs mounted dir from the sparc on my laptop doesn't show the same =20
problem (although my laptop runs -current, I have no clue if that =20
matters).
