G'day,

I've (almost) got threads working on NetBSD/Alpha - all except the function
I need to call from cerror.S. I don't know enough about asm on Alpha to get
this to work. Anyone able to help?

The function I want to call is...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
extern int errno;
int *__error()
{
	if (_thread_run == NULL || _thread_run == _thread_initial)
		return(&errno);
	else
		return(&_thread_run->error);
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried modifying cerror.S to ...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEAF(cerror, 0)
	br	t0,1f
1:	SETGP(t0)
	mov	v0, a0
	CALL(__error)
	stl	a0, 0(v0)
	ldiq	v0, -1
END(cerror)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

All I get is a bus error in the code that CALL() expands to. I guess it has
something to do with global pointers?

Thanks in advance.
