Cool.  Could you do a "make test" and run usr/klibc/tests/vfork to verify?

(For completeness sake: klibc supports generating stubs for alternate 
system call conventions by using the following syntax in SYSCALLS.def:

returntype syscall at convention(args...);

The string "convention" gets passed to sysstub.ph; on most architectures 
it simply replaces the string "common" in "__syscall_common".

However, there isn't exactly any point to do that for single-shot system 
  call conventions, like vfork() and pipe() on many platforms.
