This is why I wrote my own true, false and sync. Sadly, I've only done x86 and alpha so far:
$ objdump -d /bin/true
true: file format elf32-i386
No symbols in "true". Disassembly of section .text:
08048074 <.text>: 8048074: bb 00 00 00 00 movl $0x0,%ebx 8048079: cd 80 int $0x80
Similarly for false and only slightly more complete for sync.
Anyone wanting the extremely complicated (patent pending) source code should contact me for licensing details and future release dates.
