Hi

I just committed a first try on IRIX sproc(2) emulation. sproc() creates
lightweight process. It is similar to Linux's clone() except that it has
arguments to the child entry point and arguments, instead of behaving
like a fork. the parent returns from sproc, and the child starts at the
entry point.

There may be some problem with stack size limit overflow in this
implementation, and I would be glad if someone could review it. It is in
syssrc/sys/compat/irix/irix_prctl.c
