It is defined in /usr/include/asm-x86_64/unistd.h of glibc-2.3.3
(included from /opt/dietlibc/include/sys/syscall.h ->
/usr/include/asm/unistd.h).

I guess ENSC_SYSCALL macro in m4/ensc_syscall.m4 doesn't correctly
recognize if your system supports "fast" syscalls. Look for 'invocation
method' in your config.log. My one looks like this:

configure:23736: checking for number of syscall 'vserver'
configure:23783: result: 236/glibc
configure:23799: checking for syscall(2) invocation method
configure:23809: result: auto
configure:23814: checking which syscall(2) invocation works
configure:23855: gcc -c -g -O2 -std=c99 -Wall -pedantic -W conftest.c >&5
configure:23861: $? = 0
configure:23865: test -z
                         || test ! -s conftest.err
configure:23868: $? = 0
configure:23871: test -s conftest.o
configure:23874: $? = 0
configure:23893: result: fast

Apparently 'fast' = '_syscall3()'
