This part turns out not (quite) to be so mysterious.  For some reason,
qemu's configure script doesn't set target_nptl=yes for i386 or x86-64,
though it does for the majority of other arches.  So it will indeed be
the case that sys_futex will show up as an "unsupported syscall" on
those two architectures.

I'm not quite sure why qemu would be deciding not to do futexes on those
two architectures specifically.  I guess there must be some
functionality missing from the x86 emulation backend though I am not
sure exactly what that would be or how hard it would be to add.
