It's fine for the Linux syscall, vdso, musl and nolibc.
It's not fine for glibc and gnulib.

To be honest this does not look like a nolibc issue, more a compiler
setup problem. GCC generates calls to a function in libgcc that is not
linked for some reason.

Can you provide reproduction steps?

Also I guess a testcase that tests at runtime that the compilation has
worked is of limited use :-)
It either works or it never executes.

The original testcase also needs adaption, yes.
