32/64bits issues with ntpd, dhclient, tcpdump, ...

[Manuel Bouyer <bouyer%antioche.eu.org@localhost>]

Hello,
on a platform with a mips64 kernel and n32 userland, I get when
starting ntpd (ntpd -b, like I do on most of my clients):
Aug 24 15:05:29 java ntpd[283]: Unable to listen for broadcasts, no broadcast 
interfaces available

yet there is a broadcast-capable ethernet (with a ipv4 address configured):
java:/home/bouyer>/sbin/ifconfig re0
re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

Also, dhclient doesn't work on this interface:
java# dhclient re0

Can't install packet filter program: Invalid argument

With tcpdump I get:
java# ktrace tcpdump re0
tcpdump: no suitable device found

and kdump shows:

I'll have a look later, but maybe this rings a bell to someone ?
