question on libc/sys/linux

Code that isn't LGPL would be ok.  A lot of the code expects
to be able to run on top of syscalls that aren't part of the base
newlib layer.  Either a new directory could be added or else the libc/unix directory
could be used.  All of the current configurations that use libc/unix would have such
functionality.
