Yep, one look at /usr/include/stdio.h proves you right.  Thanks... I (obviously)
didn't realize that.

Now I'm very curious.  If BSD has it's own C api, did it at one time have
it's own compiler?  If so, what happened to it?

Does gcc have to know about the different syscall calling conventions?

I'm trying to look through /usr/src/lib/ right now, but I don't understand
most of what is going on.

Thanks a lot,
