+/* Some architectures have irregular system call names in
+   <asm/unistd.h>.  glibc assumes that system call numbers start with
+   __NR_* and lists the system calls under proper names in
+   <arch-syscall.h>.
+
+   During consistency tests, <fixup-asm-unistd.h> is included after
+   the kernel's <asm/unistd.h>, to introduce aliases as necessary to
+   match the glibc definitions in <arch-syscall.h>.
+
+   Most architectures do not need these fixups, so the default header
+   is empty.  */
