These changes look OK.  I looked through the -5 to -6 diffs and saw nothing
that would cause stuff to start returning -ENOSYS.  The only thing that 
seemed remotely relevant is the unistd.h change, which fixes a bug in the
case of an error in an internally called system call.  You can try reverting 
that and see what happens.

Beyond that, if you can find a system call that reproducably fails, then
just step through it, and see where the -ENOSYS comes from.  This shouldn't
be too difficult.
