We already have Documentation/process/adding-syscalls.rst. The documentation there is quite thorough. It lists things that people commonly forget e.g. email linux-api@vger.kernel.org. Would it be acceptable to attempt to collate per-libc information into the adding-syscalls.rst under a new section called: "Integration with libc" -- Cheers, Carlos.
