OK.
How are the calls to the kernel resolved? By the makelx program, or by some
magical stuff in the linking.
I can imagine compiling the kernel, getting a symbol table out, and then
when compiling user programs, you use a linker DEFINE or such to tell the
code that yes, there is such a function, at this absolute address. However,
getting this to work automatically seems like a lot of work.

Well, if each program uses its own libraries, there is no risk. The linked
binary from my compiler will call LegOS via some mechanism, and its own
libraries internally in the binary. No problem.

Why is that? For the IAR compiler we are going to use, the libraries are
completely operating-system neutral (strlen, memcpy, math libs, etc have
nothing to do with the operating system).
Lots of questions, but I am trying what apparently nobody has tried before,
since I only have seen gcc discussed here in the legOS forum.

Not sure of the details, but the linker takes the .o file, and the symbol file LegOS.lds, created during the kernel compile, and produces two files; .ds1 & .ds2, which are then passed to makelx to produce the lx file.
