File a PR, please.  BTW, I saw this on the OpenBSD source-changes list
recently and remembered the missing system call thread here:

  CVSROOT:        /cvs
  Module name:    src
  Changes by:     fgsch@cvs.openbsd.org   2003/08/14 12:34:15

  Modified files:
          sys/compat/linux: syscalls.master 

  Log message:
  add more syscalls. implement exit_group (which is actually an alias for
  sys_exit), needed for newer glibc's binaries.
  from marius aamodt eriksen <marius at monkey dot org>

Assuming that this is the right approach to solving the problem, we could
probably pull that change into our linux emulator.
