   I have my own competing C library. The easiest thing   
   to do is statically-link it to produce an executable that   
   has no dependencies on glibc. The main problem is   
   the embedded "INT 80H" instructions. I now consider   
   that to be unclean, because it mandates the existence   
   of an interrupt table.

   Yes, switching to vsyscall sounds like what I want in   
   order to produce clean executables.
