Use result of _setModeEmulation(3) in appropriate calls. These include
chmod -
creat - done
open - done
stat - unnecessary
fstat - unnecessary
lstat - unnecessary
check up on the type of nlink_t, used in stat(2)
Write a test that handles:
- negative process numbers
- process numbers exceeding INT_MAX and UINT_MAX
the easiest way to do this is to repeatedly exec a program that prints
it's process number. Keep doing so until either the number wraps or
the machine crashes.
libc/sys/exec.c:
buildCmd should single-quote strings containing whitespace.
If the string already has single quotes, then backspace them.
buildPath should only return files of type S16, EXEC, or EXE.
buildPath should use the mapPath facility.
These functions should operate closer to GS/OS when possible.
Also need to reduce stack requirements.

libc/stdio/perror.c:
use BSDish implementation for perror(3) to avoid stdio.
libc/sys/syscall.c:
for unlink, if file is open, then register a call to unlink
(non-recursive) the file via atexit(3)
libc/sys/trap.asm:
Insert conchecks in trap functions to check to see if GNO
is active and at the right version level. If not, they
should abort.
libc/gen/environ.c:
Review routines. Force them to use GSString routines, reduce
stack usage (depend on dynamic allocation for parm blocks).
libc/gen/err.c:
Use syslogd if not on a tty.
libc/gen/tty.c:
review these routines
do intro man pages:
1 done
2 review DEFINITIONS section
3 done
4 done
5 done
6 done
7 done
8 done
various man pages:
add note under COMPATIBILITY as to whether the routines
are thread-safe. If they write any globals or static
variables, they are not.
Verify that the setdebug(2) macros in gno/gno.h are correct.
Add implementations for execle; the final
envp can't appear in the prototype, but it can be found since it is
the last argument after the first NULL pointer.
