  14. Anyone know the RS/6000 equivalent of syscall() (2)?
  15.  
  16. The real question:
  17.  
  18. We're trying to port the CMU cthreads library, which relies on being able to  
  19. locally redefine the select() function.
  20.  
  21. Under SunOS, it's a breeze. Write the new select() func which calls the kernel  
  22. select routine via syscall() - then link it early in your build.
  23.  
  24. Under AIX, we're lost.
  25.  
  26. Help appreciated.
