rcutorture initrd/nolibc build on ARMv8?

Hello, Willy,

Some people are having trouble running rcutorture on ARMv8. They
get things like this from the nolibc build of initrd:

https://paste.debian.net/1181762/

The nolibc.h file says this:

/* Some archs (at least aarch64) don't expose the regular syscalls anymore by
* default, either because they have an "_at" replacement, or because there are
* more modern alternatives. For now we'd rather still use them.
*/

Are these build failures expected behavior on ARMv8?

Thanx, Paul
