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.
