Keeping it in cvs makes it harder to keep (local) consistency. 8-)
And to get the list of MIASM (syscalls) for libc/sys/Makefile.inc
adds yet another file to those generated by makesyscalls.sh. And
then another one for compatibility with NetBSD.
Have you got time to review:
1. Changes to makesyscalls.sh to generate sys/syscall.mk for inclusion
in libc/sys/Makefile.inc.
2. New libc/sys/Makefile.inc with the MIASM, MDASM wizardry you suggested.
3. Changes to libc_r/Makefile to move the list of syscalls that are
renamed out of libc/sys/Makefile.inc.
4. Changes to libc/Makefile and libc/Makefile.inc to default the variables
used.
5. New libc/${MACHINE_ARCH}/Makefile.inc makefiles to select the syscall
compatibility.
6. New libc/${MACHINE_ARCH}/sys/Makefile.inc makefiles to go with the MDASM
wizardry.
I think I have all this working on both i386 and alpha. And now that
binutils seems to be building on alpha...
