I had a look now and I can sya that I like this. Initially the supported
syscalls were so restricted that it was not even imaginable to accept to
build without any of them, but now that we're completing the list, some
of them are less critical and I don't see why we'd fail to build just
because one is missing. So yeah, a big +1 for -ENOSYS.

I personally have no opinion on this one. I can't judge whether it will
make things easier or more complicated at this point. It seems to me
that for now it's just avoiding one extra line at the expense of some
$(if) on several lines. Maybe it could help add more such archs, or
maybe it can make them more complicated to debug, I don't know. I'm
interested in others' opinions as well.

Thanks,
Willy
