For no reason it seems. I filed a seperate bug about it since it
causes amiga-fdisk to FTBFS on m68k.

If any glibc or linux/ header includes it it should experience the
same problem. If nothing does the file could be removed.
If you know of something making legal use of asm/system.h I would be
happy to test it.

PS: on m68k the same file fails with u8, u16 and u32 being undefined.
