The goal is to have no cats-specific, arm26-specific, etal includes or defines
in /usr/include/arm and /usr/include/machine.  Therefore all the ARM platforms
look identical to userland and all userland and be built on any ARM machine.

Since arm26 doesn't have sysarch.h, the right solution is to move the
arm32 sysarch.h to arm and install it.  arm26 will need to have a
dummy sysarch(2) syscall but since there are part of the arm ABI it
should have them anyway.

On this list.

Only those things that user programs needs to have defined are
being in defined in the common param.h
