FWIW, parisc seems to be the last architecture to keep such thing - sparc and mips had dropped SunOS/Solaris/IRIX compat, iBCS* is long-dead (and hadn't been in mainline kernel anyway). Alpha might still be able to run some OSF binaries, but there the situation is different - no alternative syscall entry codepath, Linux just uses the same ABI and shares syscall numbers where possible... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-parisc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
