OK. Alternatively, if we wanted to have the public header more like
Linux, src/internal/syscall.h could just have
#ifdef SYS_arm_fadvise64_64
#define SYS_fadvise64_64 SYS_arm_fadvise64_64
#endif
Not sure if this is better or worse.

Indeed, I misread the direction of the diff. But perhaps we should use
the upstream/reasonable name and have:
#ifdef SYS__llseek
#define SYS_llseek SYS__llseek
#endif
in src/internal/syscall.h, and use SYS_llseek in the source files.
Thoughts?

Yes, I thought we were missing the define for SYS__llseek and thus
that lseek.c would fallback to this and have a bug.

Looks good. I don't think there's anything wrong with the patch as-is.
If no one else sees any problems I think I'll commit it as-is and we
can discuss further improvements separately; holding up the patch for
tweaks would be pretty bleh.
