Yes, those are the kind of wrappers I mean. For example, base has a wrapper for lseek() (__hsccore_lseek()) for exactly the same reason.

Thanks, I submitted one of those yesterday (unsetenv, where the type of the function has changed in POSIX.1 from the older spec that GHC follows.) I've done the rest of them too, but since this is a general platform issue, I wanted to get some input from the NetBSD package maintainer, who is interested in the issue but I believe is off at some conference. Other renamed functions, in NetBSD 4.0, are sigprocmask, opendir, socket, times, sigpending, and sigsuspend. -- Donn Cave
