What version are your kernel include files ?  __NR_sysinfo is defined
(to 116) in /usr/include/linux/unistd.h and also in
/usr/include/sys/syscall.h on my system (1.2.13).

See also my outstanding bug report #1607 (from October) about sysinfo,
which should be in the libc but isn't.

Who is the libc maintainer ?

Ian.
