With glibc, syslog() calls __send() which for Linux target is implemented
as:


ssize_t
__libc_send (int fd, const void *buf, size_t len, int flags)
{
#ifdef __ASSUME_SEND_SYSCALL
  return SYSCALL_CANCEL (send, fd, buf, len, flags);
#elif defined __ASSUME_SENDTO_SYSCALL
  return SYSCALL_CANCEL (sendto, fd, buf, len, flags, NULL, 0);
#else
  return SOCKETCALL_CANCEL (send, fd, buf, len, flags);
#endif
}

We can see those defines being referenced vary per architecture:

$ git grep -E '__ASSUME_SEND(TO)?_SYSCALL' sysdeps/
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/kernel-features.h:#define __ASSUME_SEND_SYSCALL

So the patch is correct, but the commit message could be updated becase
this isn't specific to PPC.  Any platform except x86, s490, m68k will
use send() rather than sendto() based on what I see here.

With any commit message update, you can add
