Subject:	libc bin/src distrib inconsistency?

Hi,

When I run a program (resit, a demo program from libsocket
distribution), my program crashes due to a SIGILL in the select 
function.
Here is  a traceback:

I've decided to investigate this, and I've downloaded libc sources from
 simtel (djlsr201.zip). Next I've compiled (with debug information)
select.c from that distribution, and linked resulting select.o with my 
program.

But the "problem" is that, this way, my program works perfectly all
the time. It never gets a SIGILL. I thought it was due to compilation
options, but I've compiled select.c with exactly the same options as
those specified in libc sources makefiles, just removing the warning
ones (-Wall, -Wbad-function-cast, -Wcast-qual, -Werror,
-Wmissing-declarations, -Wmissing-prototypes, -Wpointer-arith, -Wshadow
-Wstrict-prototypes, -Wtraditional, -Wwrite-strings).
More precisely, I've compiled select.c with -MD -O3 and
-nostdinc options. But, even this way, my program never crashes.

I can't understand this behaviour. Am I missing something? Is there
an inconsistency between libc select code in the binary distribution and
the source one? I would really appreciate some advice about it...

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Philippe.

Spelling corrections are appreciated.
