It does look like this is the case. The manual says that syscall names
are pre-defined, and in these source fragments from 1972, you can see
that as definitely knows about mount and open:

I've sent an e-mail to Dennis to see if he can remember what the procedure
was to rebuild the kernel from the assembly source.

Cheers,
