The attached patch defines a new file 
(.../include/asm-i386/sys_calls.h) which defines all the system call 
names and numbers.  The number is defined via "enum".  The normal call 
has a well defined entry point to name relationship, but not all do, 
so a way to do the "non-confroming" calls is included.  To add a new 
call all one needs to do is to add a line at the end of the list in 
this header file, for example:

SYS_CALL(clock_nanosleep) \

This will put "sys_clock_nanosleep" in the call table in entry.S and 
define the "__NR_clock_nanosleep" for unistd.  The last entry of the 
enum is NR_syscalls, thus defineing and keeping this symbol current.

Of course we will be adding no more system calls, but it does make 
things a _lot_ easier.

The binary from entry.S was compared to the prior binary and found to 
be the same.  A small set of the library stubs was produced and also 
compared.  And a system was built and tested.  All worked fine.
