A translator that changes int 0x80 to function calls? It doesn't seem too
difficult, but I probably miss something.
The way I think is: if in Linux it is possible to translate function calls
to int 0x80, one could build a funcion call -> int 0x80 dictionary. If the
dictionary is complete (or at least big enough), having a int 0x80-like
system call one can look up the corresponding funcion call.

What do you mean by "precompiled"?

I will check it out right away. Thanks!
