Oh, I see... current stable proftpd release includes an old libcap snapshot.
This is obviuously an obsolete code (used with 2.1 kernel).
I'll check if it can be linked against current libcap1.
That old lib calls an obsolete (?) _syscall2() to point capget() and
capset() syscalls, which are now commonly defined.
Quite interesting example of archeologic coding... :)
