I don't quite follow what the goal of this test is. With orig_a0 being
added to the previous patch for ptrace, a more constrained test could
ensure that this value is respected.

The gitignore should contain a list of all of the generated binaries
that should be ignored. Can you put ptrace_restart_syscall in here
instead of abi?

How does the value end up being 5?
