Overriding the __NR_pselect6 constant seems wrong here, this can
easily lead to more bugs, as pselect6 and pselect6_time64 are
not compatible because of the different arguments, so anything
using the constant after including sys.h will be broken.

I would just use __kernel_timespec64 unconditionally and then
use __NR_pselect6_time64 on all 32-bit architectures here,
but use __NR_pselect6 on 32-bit architectures.

I think we can also kill off the oldselect and newselect 
cases, using pselect6/pselect6_time64 unconditionally here,
and no longer care about building against pre-5.1 kernel
headers, at least for the copy of nolibc that ships with the
kernel.
