(ie. *at syscalls > can be added for 7.1R with a few lines patch) I don't have any objection over adding linux compat functionality. I just don't want us to add native functions that don't conform to POSIX, mostly the API is what I am concerned about. We can change the behavior slightly to conform with whatever POSIX dictates, but we shouldn't knowingly introduce non-conforming APIs (because once 7.0 is released, we'll would always have to support both the non-conforming APIs as well as adding and supporting the conforming APIs). -- DE
