[PATCH] libgloss/arm: Add linux syscall interface.

I'm a particular fan of the manner in which arm-elf separates libc
from libgloss. It makes perfect sense to me. I like being able to
choose at link time whether I'm linking against RDP, Linux, or NOSYS,
and I use all three regularly.

It's also a matter of familiarity, as I'm more accustomed to arm-elf
than *-linux-newlib. This is by no means a good technical reason, just
a matter of fact.

Cheers!
Shaun
