Yeah, I've noticed that too.  If you look at the CVS logs you can
see that this was thought about back in '98:

$ cvs log -r1.12 libc/i386/SYS.h
[ ... ]

revision 1.12
date: 1998/05/05 22:06:16;  author: jb;  state: Exp;  lines: +9 -3
branches:  1.12.2;
Build the syscalls (in libc, not libc_r) with weak symbols so that
libpthread can override them as required.
=============================================================================

I don't quite understand the need to have _libc_XXX variants.  I
think we should just use _XXX internally.
