Re: [AD] Ouya controller support

It turns out that timerfd_* functions are in fact just very thin layers over the __NR_timerfd_create and similar
system calls that can be invoked with syscall(). So we could inplement those functions ourselves
on OUYA, since it is based on Linux 3 and should have this syscall.
 
Look here for an example, although it misses the ARM architecture's syscall number.
http://code.google.com/p/valgrind-variant/source/browse/trunk/valgrind/memcheck/tests/linux/timerfd-syscall.c?r=114
We can probably find this for ARM in the sources of glibc or uclibc or such.

Kind Regards,

I tried copying timerfd headers from a Raspberry Pi, but the actual function calls do not exist in the libraries on the Ouya (I get runtime errors about missing timerfd_* functions.) So another approach is needed. I’m not too familiar with glob()... I’ll have to look into it some more, see what the timerfd stuff in Allegro is really doing since I don’t really know yet.
