I'll have a look. Thanks! I'll avoid using potentially transient details of Linux's ELF loader, though, since I use `btry` daily and don't want to tempt fate to have it suddenly break following a kernel update too much. (Perhaps that's a bit silly given the hardcoded `/sys` path and syscall numbers.)
You're in the clear with the syscall numbers, at least. Linux treats them as part of the stable public API for each platform. If they want to update a syscall, they have to make a new version with its own number, and keep the old version around for as long as x86-64 is supported.
