Linux 5.5 remove the system call in commit
61a47c1ad3a4dc6882f01ebdc88138ac62d0df03 ("Linux: Remove
<sys/sysctl.h>"). Therefore, the compat function is just a stub that
sets ENOSYS.
Due to SHLIB_COMPAT, new ports will not add the sysctl function anymore
automatically.
x32 already lacks the sysctl function, so an empty sysctl.c file is
used to suppress it. Otherwise, a new compat symbol would be added.

This hierarchy supports Linux systems using the new asm-generic/unistd.h, which removes many familiar old syscalls. For example, to implement open(), newer Linux architectures require glibc to invoke the __NR_openat syscall with AT_FDCWD. This hierarchy provides all those implementations. It also provides support for 32-bit platforms using the 64-bit kernel syscall APIs, as the 32-bit ones are no longer provided. Note that newer ILP32 environments (x32 or AArch64:ILP32, for example) are converting to use more 64-bit types in kernel syscalls, so that aspect of this support is in more flux as of this writing.
