It seems that initcalls from the libc side of the house aren't being
called because they're not in the initcall section.  The one that
matters here is init_syscall_regs in arch/um/os-Linux/skas/mem.c.  If
you run with initcall_debug, you'll notice its absence.  As to why,
and why it depends on -fno-unit-at-a-time, I have no idea.
