Better still: use the libc provided stub when one is available.
glibc2.2 already defines quotactl(). I'd recommend to use autoconf to
check for quotactl() and fall back on syscall() when it doesn't exist
in libc (no need to do this for IA-64 Linux though, as glibc-2.2
already supports this).

PS: It's fine to send such patches to linux-ia64, but I'd also
recommend to directly forward the fixes to the author/maintainer
of the program.
