--- Comment #2 from Rich Felker <bugdal at aerifal dot cx> ---
Can we please revisit the question of exposing a public futex function and
assocated macros? Using syscall.h from applications is a horrible hack. Now
that C11 has atomics, the demand for working directly with atomics is likely to
increase, but for lots of applications of atomics you also need futex().
If this is acceptable, my preferred header for the interface would be
sys/futex.h.
