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).
