Will do.

Goodie, as long as it is not something you (or anybody, FWIW) expect me to fix 
:)

The good thing is that you should be able to reproduce that easily.  Alfred,
Jeff and me all saw it, in cross compilation and natively.  But it seems to
require gcc 3.1 to be seen.

Sorry, we lose.  make doesn't see the need to update anything.  Note
that it builds libmachuser.so and everything without RPC stubs, and then
never feels the need to touch mach/ anymore.  But here is the
mach-syscalls.mk:

mach-syscalls :=
/gnu/libc/obj/mach/mach-syscalls.mk:  ../include/libc-symbols.h \
  /gnu/libc/obj/config.h ../sysdeps/mach/i386/sysdep.h \
  ../sysdeps/mach/sysdep.h ../sysdeps/unix/i386/sysdep.h \
  ../sysdeps/unix/sysdep.h ../sysdeps/generic/sysdep.h \
  ../sysdeps/mach/sys/syscall.h ../sysdeps/i386/sysdep.h

and mach-shortcuts.h is an empty file.

Great :)

Thanks,
