I don't know of any arch with a _syscall6().  I recently put together a ppc
test box for myself.  I have a 2.2.x kernel on it, and I only have
_syscall[0-5] available.  I've never seen a _syscall6() on any liunux arch...

Any example here of what isn't working?

Are you talking about ldso on ppc, or something else?  For ldso,
by design I use the native glibc one until a ldso gets ported to
that arch.
