well i am against that, specifically, the [123] bit. since ordinary
mortals are going to use sys_name it would be nice if it was a little
more meaningful. most people dont think 'abi 1', oh yeah, libc.
'abi 2', oh yeah, glibc 2.1.

well... irix actually has multiple abi's (o32/n32/n64). sgi_65
can run any of these. the kernel and the userland are tightly coupled
though unlike linux, where the same basic kernel can be used on
practically any linux distribution.
