Deprecated *syscalls* will not have wrappers.  If a particular syscall is 
to have a wrapper, I don't think there's any consensus for glibc to try to 
filter out deprecated uses and only pass through non-deprecated ones (and 
wrappers should definitely allow through unknown flags, futex operations 
etc., rather than requiring glibc to have a full understanding of valid 
arguments to the syscall).
