The attached diff shaves four bytes
from every syscall wrapper (e.g., __sys_write, etc.)
In looking carefully at library sizes, I became
curious why a simple system call required 20
bytes; turns out a lot
of that was alignment padding.

It comes up in the context of 'cat' only
because it more than doubles the size of
an otherwise very small executable for a
single option that is not standard and
(probably) not ever used. This is a pretty
unusual situation.

Agreed, and, fortunately, that was taken into account with the

Knobs are dangerous because you have to test
all of the settings.

I could provide diffs to change this, but won't
bother if everyone else thinks the existing
system is perfect and unalterable. ;-)

How would dynamically linking /bin and /sbin
make this work right?

One possible solution to the sort problem:
* Continue to accept the old syntax for now,
but add a warning message, something like:
Warning: sort +N is deprecated, use -k instead.
* After a year, drop support for the
old syntax. After staring at warning
messages for a year, few
it into the /usr/obj tree. Then
'make kernel' was able to succeed.
