libc/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sys/syscall.h should be patched the same way.
I remember that I once saw a program the __NR_ syscall numbers imported
via unistd.h. Fixing won't be a big deal.

__KERNEL__ that is ...
Slightly radical but I like it. It'll break some programs which are using
the _syscallX() macros to get syscalls which libc doesn't yet have wrappers
for just to get away without fixing / upgrading libc. Those people still
can use syscall(3) in such a case.
