Define again the syscalls that are used by glibc so that it is possible to
compile a feature-complete glibc with the newest kernel headers.

I'm a bit puzzled by this. What exactly is your objective? To build a glibc that
runs on any possible kernel version ever released?

When building glibc it needs to know these numbers.  Otherwise only
stubs are generated that never try to use them.

Yes, I know that.

What's the user experience advantage of glibc knowing about the syscall
numbers for (never implemented) streams?
