Hmmm ...
It's a bit unexpected to have fundamental syscalls like getuid()
implemented as macros which can return 0 ...
Why?
If those functions don't exist, this supplies replacements
(functions) that have the same semantics as the code in
Dan's patch: i.e. pretend UID==0 and GID==0.
but with far fewer cpp directives.
Doesn't it do the right thing?
