Sorry, this is not clear to non-developers. Whenever new system calls are
added to the kernel, libc has to be rebuilt. The easiest way to do this is
to rebuild and reinstall dev86. You have to make sure that dev86 picks up
the syscall.dat file from the kernel source directory. This should happen
automatically if your kernel source is in /usr/src/elks. You can make
sure of this by copying elks/arch/i86/kernel/syscall.dat to
linux-86/libc/syscall/syscall.dev86 before you rebuild.
