Indeed, sorry no idea how I missed that.

The conflict looks like this:

    In file included from nolibc-test.c:18:
    sysroot/x86/include/linux/reboot.h:10: warning: "LINUX_REBOOT_MAGIC2" redefined
       10 | #define LINUX_REBOOT_MAGIC2     672274793
          | 
    In file included from sysroot/x86/include/nolibc.h:98,
                     from sysroot/x86/include/errno.h:26,
                     from sysroot/x86/include/stdio.h:14,
                     from nolibc-test.c:15:
    ... and all the other ones.



The following trivial fix on top of my patch would fix the problem:

diff --git a/tools/include/nolibc/sys.h b/tools/include/nolibc/sys.h

Want me to send a v2 or will you fix it up on your side?
