=>  You must put it in the libc as well as in the kernel.

(This is on -stable)

I've fixed the second problem (libc) as well.
Turned out that when you make a new libc, by doing make in /usr/src/lib/libc
you not only get the *.o's in the libc dir.
But it also uses /usr/include/sys/syscall.h as include directory/file, where
I expected it to use /usr/src/sys/sys/syscall.h

So now it is on with the sysctl's
