Hi Samuel,
you can say that
"On this system function XYZ is not supported by GLIBC/KERNEL)"
I'm missing the information:
-which function is not implemented
-where this function belong - is it system call, glibc or hwloc's function?
Or perhaps something more user friendly like
"On this system --get does not work together with --membind"
It's just my personal opinion.
Thanks
Jirka
