Sorry for the late response, but I had some issues with my notebook.

I've translated (but not tested) kevent, pselect, select, sigaltstack,
gettimeofday and getrusage, plus about a dozen helper functions. The
helpers themselves took more work than the syscalls, also the overall
structure needed a lot of work to be functional (at least partially).
So far it isn't possible to run a complete application using this
layer yet.

My classes are starting again this week, so I may be only available at
night. I don't think it will be possible to run a complete in the end
(I'm aware that is not enough to pass in the final evaluation), so
I'll focus on creating an program to test the already translated
syscalls. I will stay and finish this even after GSoC ends, I just
think that I bit off more than I could chew.
