I need to tell you that syscall6() for i386 can't use "r" and "=r"
because there was a historical bug that made GCC stuck in a loop forever
when compiling the nolibc code. It's already fixed in the latest version
of GCC, but we should still support older compilers.

Ref: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=105032

I discovered that bug in 2022 in the latest version of GCC at that time,
so it's pretty new, and those buggy versions are very likely still in
the wild today.
