Ah, I totally forgot that "System V Application Binary Interface" doc which
includes a set of libc symbols, etc.  I usually only ever look at the

I just stumbled on the ABI thread you started on freebsd-arch a month ago.
It'd seem that I accidentally opened a can of worms you've spend a while
thinking about. :)
