First check the result of make <path>/clone.i (or pre-process it by hand, it 
it doesn't work - in latest sources I have included the fix.).

The stub_syscall macros have been altered recently... I don't recall the exact 
point, you can verify by looking at www.kernel.org/git and looking for 
patches from either Jeff Dike or me (Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso).

No time to look now, but I seem to recall (verify by inspecting the patch) 
that it could have been moved from being a kernel-space object to a 
user-space one , or viceversa.

This can be verified by inspecting the matching Makefile (user-space objects 
are listed in USER_OBJS), and/or the compilation command (with V=1) - the 
difference is linking with different headers.
