I guess that is just the developer that thinks it is better to hard code
that int 80h or he/she just doesn't aware that SYSENTER/SYSCALL are
there. You'll see lots like this if you observe hacker's shellcode
spreading on Net, right Arjan? ;)

I seriously doubt that. we are talking here about static libraries
like GNU libc.
this ain't some random hacket. this is first class developers.
