Is this true? It is defined in the default syscalls.list and built
as a wrapper from that.

With your series applied I see things like:

(echo '#define SYSCALL_NAME epoll_create'; \
 echo '#define SYSCALL_NARGS 1'; \
 echo '#define SYSCALL_ULONG_ARG_1 0'; \
 echo '#define SYSCALL_ULONG_ARG_2 0'; \
 echo '#define SYSCALL_SYMBOL epoll_create'; \
 echo '#define SYSCALL_NOERRNO 0'; \
 echo '#define SYSCALL_ERRVAL 0'; \
 echo '#include <syscall-template.S>'; \
) | gcc -Wl,--build-id=none -c ...

objdump -ldr misc/epoll_create.os

misc/epoll_create.os:     file format elf64-x86-64


Disassembly of section .text:

0000000000000000 <__GI_epoll_create>:
epoll_create():

There is no Makefile definition for these so the C versions are
going to be unused until the syscalls.list entry is removed?

May you please confirm using a final build that we don't still need this?

Likewise we should probably cross-check bewteen the makefiles and the
syscalls-list to see what is and isn't being built with wrappers.
