[fpc-devel] Patch for linux syscalls

[C Western]

One of the syscall routines in rtl/linux/i386/syscall.inc checks for a 
return value in the range -4095..-1 as the error return, but all the 
rest just take a negative value as an error. I think the former is 
correct and attach a patch that will fix the rest. (I sent something to 
the list quite a while ago about this, but the complete change did not 
get made.)
