Fortunately, ncftpd was already running, so I could ftp in a >2.2.5-RELEASE libc. __generic_syscall should not be defined or referenced any any version of FreeBSD, but references to it seem to be created by inconsistent sets o headers. References to __generic_xxx are only supposed to be created for certain math functions. These are created by the GNAME() macro in <machine/asm.h>. GNAME() is only supposed to be used in src/lib/msun. It is apparently being used in src/lib/libc/i386. Bruce
