Hi Arnd, Rolf,

Thanks for the comments. It will help me to fine tune my scripts!

Here is the logic of identifying the generated script is for compat interface
or not. So systbl_abi_syscall_table_c32 := common,compat,32 in Makefile
will parse the script and check the second string whether this is
"compat" or not.

Other ways are:
1. add an extra flag, that will again add the complexity
2. check if [ ${out: -5} = "c32.h" ], this looks weird

Is there any better way to do the same?

I'll address rest of the comment soon.

Helge, I can update this patches asap with their comments and we can
perform the
boot test with next version. And thanks for your great support!
