+/*
+ * June 27, 2001             Manuel Novoa III
+ *
+ * This is a heavily modified version of gcc's output for the syscall5 macro.
+ * The idea (originally from dietlibc) is that all syscall functions simply
+ * set the syscall number in %al (since <= 255) and then jump here.  All the
+ * common work is done by __uClibc_syscall, saving a fair amount of generated
+ * code where a number of syscalls are used.  The (potential) cost is some 
+ * unnecessary pushes, pops, and movs but the execution time penalty should
+ * be relatively small compared to the cost of the syscall itself.
+ *
+ * WARNING: If the startup code for uClibc changes, I suppose it is possible
+ *          that this code might try to access memory under the bottom of
+ *          the stack.
+ * WARNING: This will need to be modified if the number of syscalls ever
+ *          exceeds 255.  So will the associated syscall macros.
