:>     The problem is where does the function address of cerror come
:>     from ?  This library is implementing a system call, the function returns
:>     to the caller, not to cerror.  I definitely do not want to hack up 
:>     the stack frame.

:I wanted to put an intermediate stack frame there. We need it anyway for
:the internal compatibility handling in libc, even it adds another stack
:frame for the "normal" case.

:Joerg

    It's already too complex.  I don't want to put another call layer in 
    there.
