OK, I looked over the glibc cvs logs and it looks like getloadavg() wasn't
added to glibc until October of 1999. So, I modified statuscalls.c so that if
the system has getloadavg() it uses that. If the system doesn't have
getloadavg() and is a Linux system it uses the old method (groveling through
/proc/stat). Eventually it would be nice to just be able to use getloadavg(),
but I'm sure someone out there has an old glibc with a newer Linux kernel.
Thanks for the info James.
