These definitions come from
"tools/nolibc: add definitions for standard fds".
This patch was part of the nolibc stack protector series which is older than this series and went through the same channels.
So I'm not sure how one series made it into next and the other didn't.

This would also have been noticed by Willy and Paul running their tests.

These defines should be available to all users of nolibc.
It seems more of an issue with the patchsets going through different trees.

I can investigate this more tomorrow with my proper development setup.
