To be precise, Linus tries hard to prevent ABI changes in the system call interfaces exported from the kernel, but the glibc team had defeated him in the past. For example, they accidentally started returning ENOTSUP from getgid when one had a library version mis- match (!). Sun stabilizes both library and system call interfaces: I used to work on that with David J. Brown's team, back when I was an employee. --dave (who's a contractor) c-b -- David Collier-Brown | Always do right.
