Hi -
can the fix to lib/libc/arch/mips/sys/__clone.S:

revision 1.5
date: 2003/02/08 00:28:25;  author: cgd;  state: Exp;  lines: +12 -7
* fix handling of invalid arguments (was jumping to wrong label!)
  (found by... running the regress test!)
* clean up punctuation.
* create a proper frame for the child fn that follows the o32 calling
  conventions.  In particular, leave 4 stack slots that the child
  fn can write on, put the GP above them, and invoke .cprestore
  properly in light of the child fn arg area.  (realized it was a
  problem upon inspection, verified using the regress test compiled
  -O0.)

be pulled up to 1.6 in its entirety?
Well, very likely it can, but all my mips boxes are -current or close
to it, so I can't test myself.

There is PR port-mips/20657 referring to this failure in 1.6,
it contains a patch which just fixes the jump label.

best regards
Matthias
