I imagine you can't. I have no idea if there are any intensions to change the definition of timespec on 32bit architectures, or if the thought is that they will all be dead before it becomes a problem. :) I still think the API you define for PPS should support 64bit seconds, even if on some systems you can't take advantage of it. -- Len Sorensen - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
