tools/perf/util/cloexec.c  #includes <sys/syscall.h> which for glibc includes
asm/unistd.h

uClibc <sys/syscall.h> OTOH #include <bits/sysnum.h> containign#define __NR_*
(generated by parsing kernel's unistd). This header does the right thing by
chekcing for redefs, but in the end we still collide with newly added
tools/arc/arc/*/**/unistd.h which doesn't have conditional definitions. I'm sure
this is not an ARC problem, any uClibc build would be affected. Do you have a arm
uclibc toolchain to test ?

All in all this is a mess. The quick band aid I can think of would be to add a
#ifndef __UCLIBC__ in tools/arch/arc/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h which is super
ugly, but in the end the solution is to get rid of this header duplicity.
