If the non-socketcall way of implementing a socket function on a given 
architecture involves use of a different syscall, then the appropriate one 
of __ASSUME_ACCEPT4_FOR_ACCEPT_SYSCALL, __ASSUME_SENDTO_FOR_SEND_SYSCALL, 
__ASSUME_RECVFROM_FOR_RECV_SYSCALL should be defined under the relevant 
conditions for the syscall in question to be available (and there should 
not be a syscalls.list entry for the syscall that does not exist).  I have 
not reviewed exactly what is right for sparc32 and sparc64 in this regard.
