I know that the system call codes used by Linux are not 100% UNIX
compatible. Is there anything else in the kernel that is not UNIX
compatible? Would modifying these things for UNIX compatibility break
anything in userland provided that it is recompiled against the
modified sources?

By the way, I subscribed to the mailing because I heard that Linus
Torvalds is considering changing Linux's version scheme from 2.6.x to
3.x. Is there any possibility of putting better UNIX compatibility on
the list of features planned for 3.x?

Yours truly,
Richard Yao
