What is a "semi-current system" ??

It looks to me as though you've updated to a -current libc (with weak
symbols for the syscalls), but your linker doesn't know about weak
symbols. Is that possible? It's surprising.

If you run "nm -W /usr/lib/libc.a | grep _read", do you see:

00000008 T  __read
00000008 TW _read

(plus many other references)?
