enabling/disabling trampoline

[Cristiano Ligieri Pereira]

Actually what I'm doing is trying the reproduce some of the results from
the paper "The performance of micro-kernel Based Systems" using
lmbench/hbench/AIM benchmarks on a P4 machine. I'm not quite sure if I
understood what you mean by generating a new C library. Where is the code
for the C library in the source tree?. Isn't there a piece of code
handling all system calls in which I could just change it instead of
changing every occurrence of "int 0x80" in my code?

Cristiano.
