I recently had very near the same problem.  I could not get emumodule
to load with the undefined sys_call.  The problem that I had did not
seem exactly the same as yours, but maybe this will help.

My solution that worked, I am not sure which of the combination
worked, but I did a make clean for the kernel and dosemu.  
I recompiled the kernel making sure that all the requirements in the
Quick Start quide were met.  I then  recompiled dosemu with 
#define REQUIRES_EMUMODULE in the emu.h,
(the #define prolly not needed), but look in the makefile for the
emumodule for more specifics.
Next   I ran the
 load_emumodule.sh 
script, which loaded emumodule without nary a warning.    
It worked!!  Next thing you know I  was playing doom under dosemu! 
Well, I worked on the keyboard and video setup for a while first :)
