I suspect you are adding bare board specific code. This would
go in libgloss where there are already a number of stubs
for fork() and other methods.

IMO there are some unfortunately named directories in libc/sys which
appear to be generic CPU support but they are really for specific
"systems." The sys/arm directory is questionably named because
it is really support for the ARM Angel/RDI monitor.  Mostly a
confusing historical artifact at this point.
