This would fix the one gcc issue I found with elf.h no longer including these
definitions.  I can scrub binutils, but given that it defines a lot of these
bits independently anyway, I imagine it'll be in good shape too.

Random userspace packages might explode here and there, but these will all be
build failures, not runtime, and we can easily weed them out in an archive
rebuild test in Debian or Ubuntu and push patches upstream for the rather tiny
set of sources that I expect will be affected by suddenly needing sys/auxv.h.
