This wasn't necessary before because we built an l4 library for Pistachio and linked it against each application. With the new linker, we compile the required files from within Genode and create a syscall library that is only linked to ldso. If a program uses system calls directly, for example, DDE kit's spinlock implementation, the required symbols must be made globally accessible. Fixes #1306
This is generic part of the Genode implementation. It consists of two parts: :_Core_: is the ultimate root of the Genode application tree and provides abstractions for the lowest-level hardware resources such as RAM, ROM, CPU, and generic device access. All generic parts of Core can be found here - for system-specific implementations refer to the appropriate 'base-<system>' directory. :_Base libraries and protocols_: that are used by each Genode component to interact with other components. This is the glue that holds everything together.
