I noted when ktracing Wine that it called lots of "unimplemented" SYSV
IPC syscalls. I was very surprised, becaus I knew I had compiled them
in. So I checked around, and found that it was indeed linked in. So
I checked kdump, and found out that it includes sys/kern/syscalls.c
without any option defines defined. So of course it says
"unimplemented", when in fact, they are. I could leave it at this as
I now know the reason, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.
I really hate to see such static behaviour, the old maxpartitions
problem springs to mind. Perhaps it would be possible to have a
sysctl (or maybe there already is) to report what syscalls,
emulations, filesystems, cdevs, bdevs, etc are enabled in a given
kernel. Anybody wanting me to look into it?
