OR, make it clear that native routines are responsible for
doing this themselves (which might make more sense).

After thinking about it some more, there probably aren't
*that* many libc calls that kaffe really uses, at least
in the core part. So maybe the best strategy is just to
identify these and wrap them in a macro or whatever.
