OK, that roughly works. Special care is needed for SYS_accept since it
doesn't exist on i386, m68k, or s390x and needs to be emulated with
SYS_accept4. microblaze and mips (plain o32) seem to be the only archs
that define SYS_socketcall but don't ever need to use it.
Attached is a patch that seems to work implementing the above idea
with fixups. It's not heavily tested yet.
