Strange that nobody else has noticed, but "sys_bind" seems to be broken.
It does return "0" for an already used socket.

Possible patch:
net/socket.c:
--- socket.c 1998/09/14 10:40:45 1.1
+++ socket.c 1998/09/14 10:40:58
@@ -707,7 +707,7 @@
err = 0;
out:
sockfd_put(sock);
- return(0);
+ return err;
}

sys_bind should probably re-arranged to clearer for the future, but the above
patch should (hopefully) fix sys_bind.

I am not so pleased with Alan blocking all egcs-related patches from kernel
2.0.x. I am using development snatshopts and now egcs 1.1 on many machines
and haven't had any failure that could be blamed on egcs (having the known
kernel-bugs fixed of course).
I will setup a WWW-page with patches ASAP and try to put them on the egcs
FAQ-page, if possible. Are there any similar pages already floating around?

Thanks,

Florian La Roche
