The Linux-ABI 2.4.15.0 release for Linux 2.4.15 is now available.

Linux-ABI is a patch against the Linux Kernel to support running
binaries compiled for non-Linux operating systems.

The current release supports the following operating systems:

	System V Release 3 (SVR3)
	System V Release 4 (SVR4)
	SCO Unix 3.x
	SCO Xenix 386
	SCO Xenix 286 (with userspace x286emul)
	SCO OpenDesktop
	SCO OpenServer
	SCO UnixWare 7/Caldera OpenUnix8
	Sun Solaris 2
	Wyse V/386
	ISC Interactive Unix

Currently only the Intel/i386 platform is supported.

The following changes have been made in this release:

  - simplified wyse socket handling. Now using native syscalls directly
    where possibles, else using normal calling conventions.
  - fixed <linux/syscall.h> compilation for non-i386 machines (Olaf Hering)
  - fixed alignment checks in binfmt_xout (based on patch by Joerg Ahrens)
  - rewrite of abi_brk: fix (theoretical) races, check for page alignment
  - don't try to take a non-existant lock in xnx_nap, cleanup xnx_nap.
  - fix value reported by sysi86(SI86MEM).

Note that this patch also applies against 2.4.16-pre1 and I _stongly_
encourage you to use that one if you like your data.
