Hi,

I'm running Linux 2.0.38 on a Coldfire platform. I need a simple semaphore 
or mutex which can be used within a single application. I see that SYSV 
style IPC is a kernel option, which makes me think that there must be a 
more standard Linux way of doing this. I simply need to provide a handle 
and a way to grab the semaphore, release the semaphore or wait on the 
semaphore. (A mutex would work too).

My desktop 2.4 Linux system offers some other things but I don't think 
they're supported in uCLinux. What's the standard way with the old kernel 
of implementing these?

Thanks
Jeff
