Ok, let's keep clone() around for all architectures then. We should probably
just remove the __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE macro and build the
code into the kernel unconditionally, but at the moment there
are still private versions for ia64 and sparc with the same name as
the generic version. Both are also still lacking support for clone3() and
don't have anyone actively working on them.
In this case, we probably don't need to change clone3() to allow the
zero-length stack after all, and the wrapper that was added to the
musl port should get removed again.
For the other syscalls, I think the latest musl patches already dropped
the old-style stat() implementation, but the glibc patches still have those
and need to drop them as well to match what the kernel will get.
