Since ia64 is tier 2 and not widely used, I was fine with breaking
the ABI in this respect. The syscall is not used for non-threaded
processes, which means that pretty much all of src is unaffected. I
don't think we should complicate matters by doing a version bump,
because you either want to do that only on ia64, which is a pain,
or you do it across the board. In that case you make it visible to
all our users and possibly create complications for later when
the KSE library gets support for debugging and you have your users
still using the old version.

Nah... it's good this way...
