 I seem to remember having to take extra care with how the three MIPS ABIs 
wire the syscalls to get it right in glibc, but I take it then this has 
been now addressed reliably enough for the glibc not to care how exactly
<asm/unistd.h> has been arranged.

 Given my current level of involvement with the MIPS architecture I take 
your word for it and will not investigate it any further.  Thanks for your 
input.
