Arnout explained very well that this patch is not super great due to
the need to keep things working with older uClibc toolchains. Could you
instead cook a patch that changes openvmtools to detect if euidaccess()
is available or not. If it is available, then it uses it, otherwise, it
open-codes it (the euidaccess implementation in uClibc is just one
line, so it's not a big deal to copy that in the openvmtools source
code).
Are you willing to implement such a solution?
I'd say that within 6/12 months, we should be able to kill non-ng
uClibc support. Blackfin will be a problem... but Blackfin has always
been a problem.
Thanks,
Thomas
