there is a way around:

instead of the inline functions in syscall_arch.h use extern
asm implementations or just call the generic __syscall

(it will be less efficient than inline asm syscall, but
pcc is not very good at optimizations anyway)

eg. in syscall_arch.h change

static __inline long __syscall1(long n, long a1)
{
	unsigned long ret;
	__asm__ __volatile__ ("syscall" : "=a"(ret) : "a"(n), "D"(a1) : "rcx", "r11", "memory");
	return ret;
}

into

static __inline long __syscall1(long n, long a1)
{
	return (__syscall)(n, a1);
}

etc
