See commit 089b772f98afd9eb6264c6489bc96a30bf6af4ac, where I removed
__ASSUME_PPOLL because all supported kernel versions now had that syscall
for all glibc architectures.
In general this sort of thing needs a review of whether a given syscall is
available for all glibc architectures in their minimum kernel versions.
For the old kernels in question, that means checking the
architecture-specific syscall table as used to dispatch syscalls at
runtime, which used to have an architecture-specific format before
unification work was done; it used to mean checking asm/unistd.h as well,
but now we have syscall tables in glibc that's probably no longer
required. It also involves checking compat syscall tables for 32-bit
binaries on 64-bit kernels, as sometimes a syscall didn't get added to the
native and compat syscall tables at the same time (see the comments in
sparc/kernel-features.h about various socket-related syscalls, for
example).
