s/unsigned int/unsigned/ and maybe just write out the constants? I
think that's the style musl uses most places.

This probably at least needs to support flags==0 on kernels without
SYS_renameat2 by calling renameat in that case. Then I'm not sure if
ENOSYS should be kept if the new syscall is missing, or just EINVAL or
whatever is used to report unsupported flags.
