--- Comment #2 from Paul Floyd <[email protected]> ---
My experience of messiness in the scalar tests is with any new syscalls. The
problem is that you may need to handle several different kernel versions, some
with and some without new syscalls.

The way that this was handled in Solaris / illumos was to add a new scalar test
for each new syscall, each having a configure test.

On FreeBSD I added fake output for older kernels that don't support new
syscalls.

On Linux there's also the issue of different syscall numbers on different
platforms.

Still, I like the syscall test. It does a lot of quick testing.
