 It absolutely has to work, on the MIPS target GCC emits code invoking it 
to synchronise trampolines built at the run time on the stack (used for 
calling nested functions, a C language extension borrowed from Pascal, 
etc.), before passing execution there.  Verification of this syscall is 
probably implicitly covered by the GCC test suite already.
