Linux now imposes a floor on the ARG_MAX limit
Starting with Linux 2.6.23, the ARG_MAX limit became
settable via (1/4 of) RLIMIT_STACK. This broke ABI
compatibility if RLIMIT_STACK was set such that ARG_MAX
was < 32 pages. Document the fact that since 2.6.25
Linux imposes a floor on ARG_MAX, so that the old limit
of 32 pages is guaranteed.

Note lack of glibc wrapper; caller must use syscall(2)
Glibc doesn't (and quite probably won't) include a
wrapper for this system call. Therefore, point out that
potential callers will need to use syscall(2), and rewrite
the RETURN VALUE text to show things as they would be if
syscall() is used.

These words are slightly bogus: although the interface
