They can be implemented as a function call on (at least) Linux as well. 
It's depends on which model is used. Which model is used then depends on 
various things like who the compiler is able to optimize and dynamic 
libraries are involved or not.

Mac OS X chose the easiest way out and implemented only one mode. A 
model that works in all cases, and that is a function call.
