We want to use the _syscall macros to get some type safety. To get that we
define them ourselves in frysk-imports/include/linux.syscall.h which doesn't
always seem to work. One problem is the MAX_ERRNO definition. See also upstream bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=224130

------- Additional Comments From mark at klomp dot org  2007-01-24 19:47 -------
Upstream said:

    You must not include anything from asm/ or linux/ into a user mode program.

    You can use the definition as a basis to write your own.

This is a bit of a pity since that means we would have to define (copy/paste)
these macros for all the different architectures we support.
