I don't think so. This particular module contains
so much concentration of low-level magic (GetThreadSelectorEntry + manual N=
T_TIB
access in Garry Nebbett's style, to name some
techniques) to extract as accurate machine
state description as possible. Mostly OS-specific
guts far beyond POSIX specs and definitely
nothing portable.
