Is there a problem that prevents this from working properly ever?  The
few hacks I put in seem to work fine at least for "make check" and for
bootstrapping a machine.  (In the longer term it shouldn't matter
much, as soon enough we'll be using NPTL, but in the meantime, it is
nice to be able to test with the new syscall stuff without having to
switch to a different threading library.)
