Yeah, I've noticed that too.  If you look at the CVS logs you can
see that this was thought about back in '98:

$ cvs log -r1.12 libc/i386/SYS.h

Build the syscalls (in libc, not libc_r) with weak symbols so that
libpthread can override them as required.

I don't quite understand the need to have _libc_XXX variants.  I
think we should just use _XXX internally.
