Summary:                    in no mmu build, msyc() in sys/mman.h breaks msync()
in linuxthreads.old/wrapsyscall.c
Description: 
For architectures with no MMU, some of the system calls in sys/mman.h were
changed to be "static inline" calls that do nothing. This avoids making
calls into the kernel that don't actually do anything. Unfortunately, the
change breaks linuxthreads.old/wrapsyscall.c because it includes
sys/mman.h but has its own implementation of msync().

The "static inline" declarations could also cause problems for other code
that needs a pointer to msyc() or the other calls. I don't know why anyone
would want a pointer to msyc(), but you never know what people will try do.

Taking a pointer to inline function works in C.
