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.
