So what can I do to get the generic syscall wrappers into ports?
I've been using these for the last 6 months & they've been spotless
(well, OK, 1 or 2 trite bugs...)  I'm using these to leverage a port to
a new processor, the qualcomm hexagon; the port is done
(better than 99% of the glibc test cases pass; gd/ie tls support and
everything). I'd send the patches yesterday, except that the lawyers
haven't yet recovered from their strange gplv3-disease.  Anyway,
to lay the groundwork, I'd like to see  the generic-syscalls code
in the port git repo.

--linas

BTW,  http://www.gnu.org/s/libc/ports.html doesn't point at any reasonable
url for the sourceware ports git repo, etc.
