For those that don't track CVS commits from day to day, the CVS version
should not compile on Linux just fine. However, I have no Linux
machines on which to test it. There are no core changes at all, I just
had to hack around the fact that Linux wants to be SYSV and BSD at the
same time and often simply doesn't cut it.
Apparently Linux provides and fattach() system call that will compile
and link, but always fails with a "not implemented". The worst sort
"compliance" ever. My question: why bother?
Anyway, anyone running linux is welcome to try out the latest CVS build.
