Forth. And as I'm the one porting the compiler, there's no help to be had
from upstream...

Neither; I want to load up a shared library to get at the functions with
dlopen() and dlsym(), but I can't find the symbols in any libraries.

Looking at what gcc produces, it *looks* like I've got to rewrite most of
the semaphore stuff using futex(). And that puts constraints on the
kernels I can support (although I don't think that's a big deal).

But I'm hoping someone will come along with a much easier method :-)
