A translator that changes int 0x80 to function calls? It doesn't seem too difficult, but I probably miss something. The way I think is: if in Linux it is possible to translate function calls to int 0x80, one could build a funcion call -> int 0x80 dictionary. If the dictionary is complete (or at least big enough), having a int 0x80-like system call one can look up the corresponding funcion call. > By asking for int 0x80 support, you're really asking > for the ability to run precompiled Linux applications.
