This seems wrong to me, since getpwent_r isn't a syscall
(see /usr/include/linux/syscalls.h). But then, neither are some of the
other things already in Mono.Posix.Syscall, and "syscall" isn't even a
POSIX concept anyway. Ugh. Bad namespace. No biscuit.

Why is the "Syscall" namespace there anyway? Couldn't everything just be
in "Mono.Posix"?
