This raises two points that need to be bikeshedded:

(1) What's the new tool called, and where does it live in the tree?
"usr.bin/makesyscalls" is fine with me but ymmv.

"usr.bin/makesyscalls" sounds good to me.

Uh? usr.bin is where stuff for /usr/bin is located, right? Anything there should be pretty normal tools that any user might be interested in. Don't seem to me as makesyscalls would be a tool like that?

Possibly some sbin thing, but in all honestly, wouldn't this make more sense to have somewhere under sys? Don't we have some other tools and bits which are specific for kernel and library building?
