I'm not sure. The ptrace-related (including ptrace.h, user.h, etc.)
stuff has always been a mess.

Is there any benefit to making this change?

This needs to be resolved, I think.

Am I correct in assuming the header & external function interfaces
match how glibc is exposing these functions?
One thing that looks a little bit weird to me is conditioning
existence of some functions on the syscall macro:

where others fail with ENOSYS when the arch has no definition. I think
it's also problematic that syscall.h is being included before #define
_GNU_SOURCE. This would break under changes in how the features.h
mechanisms work.
Is there a reason you want to avoid an external functon existing when
the arch lacks the feature?
The other patches in this series look ok I think. I'll commit them
soon if I don't see any further things to ask about.
