There are three ways a target may provide the needed syscalls.
The target may provide the needed syscalls by any of the following:
1) Define the reentrant versions of the syscalls directly.
(eg: _open_r, _close_r, etc.). Please keep the namespace clean.

When you do this, add -DMISSING_SYSCALL_NAMES to newlib_cflags in
configure.host.
4) Define or otherwise provide the regular versions of the syscalls,
and do not supply functional interfaces for any of the reentrant
calls. With this method, the reentrant syscalls are redefined to
directly call the regular system call without the reentrancy argument.
When you do this, specify both -DREENTRANT_SYSCALLS_PROVIDED and
-DMISSING_SYSCALL_NAMES via newlib_cflags in configure.host and do
not specify "syscall_dir".
Stubs of the reentrant versions of the syscalls exist in the libc/reent
source directory and are used if REENTRANT_SYSCALLS_PROVIDED isn't defined.
They use the native system calls: _open, _close, etc. if they're available

(MISSING_SYSCALL_NAMES *is* defined). */
source directory and are provided if REENTRANT_SYSCALLS_PROVIDED isn't
defined. These stubs call the native system calls: _open, _close, etc.
if MISSING_SYSCALL_NAMES is *not* defined, otherwise they call the
non-underscored versions: open, close, etc. when MISSING_SYSCALL_NAMES
*is* defined.
By default, newlib functions call the reentrant syscalls internally,
passing a reentrancy structure as an argument. This reentrancy structure
contains data that is thread-specific. For example, the errno value is
kept in the reentrancy structure. If multiple threads exist, each will
keep a separate errno value which is intuitive since the application flow
cannot check for failure reliably otherwise.
The reentrant syscalls are either provided by the platform, by the
libc/reent stubs, or in the case of both MISSING_SYSCALL_NAMES and
REENTRANT_SYSCALLS_PROVIDED being defined, the calls are redefined to
simply call the regular syscalls with no reentrancy struct argument.
A single-threaded application does not need to worry about the reentrancy
structure. It is used internally.
A multi-threaded application needs either to manually manage reentrancy
structures or use dynamic reentrancy.
Manually managing reentrancy structures entails calling special reentrant
versions of newlib functions that have an additional reentrancy argument.
For example, _printf_r. By convention, the first argument is the
reentrancy structure. By default, the normal version of the function
uses the default reentrancy structure: _REENT. The reentrancy structure
is passed internally, eventually to the reentrant syscalls themselves.
How the structures are stored and accessed in this model is up to the
application.
Dynamic reentrancy is specified by the __DYNAMIC_REENT__ flag. This
flag denotes setting up a macro to replace _REENT with a function call
to __getreent(). This function needs to be implemented by the platform
and it is meant to return the reentrancy structure for the current
thread. When the regular C functions (e.g. printf) go to call internal
routines with the default _REENT structure, they end up calling with
the reentrancy structure for the thread. Thus, application code does not
need to call the _r routines nor worry about reentrancy structures. */
