It doesn't matter what interface the underlying libraries use, as long
as the "toplevel" create() prototype matches the one that
/kernel/lib/auto.c expects to call from _F_create(), all is good.

And since /kernel/obj/{telnet,binary}.c use 'void create(int clone)'
there is no problem.

Hope that helps,

Erwin.
