Hi,
I'm trying to do a 'make build' on my vax, but it fails on a problem:
some programs dumps core with a SIGSYS. I can reproduce it with a
'cat <some_file> | tail' (while 'tail <some_file>' works fine). tail dies
with a SIGSYS in lseek:
cordouan#/home/sources-vax/src>kdump
<...>
  8449 tail     CALL  lseek(0,0,0,0,0x1)
  8449 tail     RET   lseek -1 errno 29 Illegal seek
  8449 tail     CALL  syscall
  8449 tail     PSIG  SIGSYS SIG_DFL
  8449 tail     NAMI  "tail.core"

cordouan#/home/sources-vax/src>gdb /usr/bin/tail tail.core

I rebuild the kernel and libc from scratch, after a 'make includes'. Reverting
to the old libc (libc.so.12.62.1) makes the problem go away.

Anyone else seeing this ?
