I know that the system call codes used by Linux are not 100% UNIX compatible. Is there anything else in the kernel that is not UNIX compatible? Would modifying these things for UNIX compatibility break anything in userland provided that it is recompiled against the modified sources?
By the way, I subscribed to the mailing because I heard that Linus Torvalds is considering changing Linux's version scheme from 2.6.x to 3.x. Is there any possibility of putting better UNIX compatibility on the list of features planned for 3.x?
Yours truly, Richard Yao
