The same problem exists when trying to track changes between kernel versions. 
We could try to use the preprocessor to check the kernel version to
conditionally define a syscall, or we could mark such syscalls with the
'optional' syntax.

For example, when I run buildok/syscall.stp on i686 RHEL4, I get the following
errors.  The unresolved functions are all absent from this kernel.


semantic error: no match for probe point
while: resolving probe point kernel.function("sys_inotify_add_watch")
semantic error: no match for probe point
while: resolving probe point kernel.function("sys_inotify_init")

Pass 2: analysis failed.  Try again with more '-v' (verbose) options.
