its ugly but indeed it does work.  a minor nit, is that you need to handle
errno from __syscall_return() since errno is not an export symbol (not
surprising).

however, it looks like this is handled differently on different platforms,
in particular ia64.  the kernel is running fixed gp mode so i dont this
it will work to call a syscall from a gp relative model without some 
extra work.
