__NR_ipc definitely should not be defined, it is a multiplexer
for other system calls that have their own number, e.g. msgctl
and semop. Look at e.g. how parisc does it in glibc.

I'm not sure what the problem with __NR_llseek could be, AFAICT
it is defined in asm-generic/unistd.h because you take the
default __BITSPERLONG=32 definition. You should however not
see __NR_lseek, which is used only on 64 bit systems these days.

Yes, and I guess this will continue to work, but it will never
work with upstream kernels.

Do you have a patch against the glibc git tree for score so I can look
at what needs to be done? None of the changes should be specific to
score after all, ideally it should all work without any glibc changes,
though I realize that we are not there yet.
