Well, N32 is yet another case.  Have to look into details again but some
MIPS guy recently pointed out to me that there are a few syscalls which
for N32 cannot be handled by the o32 or N64 syscall entry as they are right

Understandable reflex :)

Btw, I did just chat with a Redhat guy.  They say they're basically finished
and are just waiting for us.  Which means we need to deciede fast ...

as I can.
