Hi Jim,

When someone else does it ;-)

We have no access to non-i386 (other than SGIs ;-) in our
group and thus we have no way of testing it.

I would think that you need to update:
    cmd/acl/libacl/acl.c
    linux/include/asm-alpha/unistd.h
    linux/arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S
with appropriate syscall numbers for acl_get/acl_set.

And if you want to get Extended Attributes working from user space
then you'll need to update:
    cmd/attr/libattr/attr.c
    linux/include/asm-alpha/unistd.h
    linux/arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S
with an appropriate syscall number for attrctl.

I think that's it; I may have missed something ? :)

Cheers,
Tim.
