System: NetBSD orchard.arlington.ma.us 1.3K NetBSD 1.3K (ORCHARDII) #43: Sat Mar 20 17:51:07 EST 1999 sommerfeld@orchard.arlington.ma.us:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/ORCHARDII i386


>Description:
	compat_aout includes a bunch of aout_sys_foo() calls which,
due to the changes in revision 1.3 of aout_misc.c, just call the
equivalent sys_foo() without any change.  this could be fixed in the
compat/aout syscalls.master and the passthrough stubs eliminated.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:

It appears that unnecessarily split syscalls include:
	aout_sys_create
	aout_sys_mknod
	aout_sys_mount
	aout_sys_ktrace
	aout_sys_acct
	aout_sys_mkfifo
	aout_sys_mkdir
	aout_sys_quotactl
