the GEMDOS calls were fixed already by a different patch. The clean pl47
should be fully MagiC aware (or any system extension aware).

The remaining __mint conditions seems to be very MiNT specific (and usually
do not call a GEMDOS routine). Things like signals, timer related functions,
console etc. I don't know how MagiC handles console, so I can't say anything
than that a MagiC (or any good system) programmer should have a look at the
pre-pl48.
