I don't think there was consensus on any cases other than those where the
syscall is added to the OS-independent GNU API. In
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-05/msg00764.html> I suggested
treating Linux as a source of APIs like BSD and SysV were in the past but
don't think that part of the discussion got any further.
