OK, I get the same on my machine.
On a machine that does not support sysenter, this will give you:
int $0x80
ret
The int $0x80 system calls are still fully supported by a sysenter
capable kernel, since it must run older binaries and potentially support
syscalls during early boot up before it is known that sysenter is supported.
Now is the latest glibc using this. Since I put in a ud2 op in my
sysenter_entry code, which is not triggered, as well as an objdump of
libc.so shows a bunch of int 0x80 calls.
The NPTL version of glibc (the TLS library) uses this.

You'll find getpid much faster with TLS libraries (it's cached, no
longer a system call):
With TLS:
zach-dev2:Micro-bench $ time ./getpid
real 0m0.080s
user 0m0.080s
sys 0m0.000s
Without TLS:
zach-dev:Micro-bench $ time ./getpid
real 0m5.041s
user 0m2.520s
sys 0m2.520s
If you're feeling really masochistic, I've added a demonstration of how
you can call sysenter from userspace without glibc. The code verifies
that there is no way to exploit the kernel to achieve reading arbitrary
memory through a non-flat data segment. It deliberately segfaults at
the end. Let me point out this is a very wrong way to do things - you
should always use the vsyscall page, and in fact, this code actually
depends on the vsyscall page even if it is not apparent. I fake the
same frame structure that the vsyscall page would have pushed to
simulate a vsyscall entry, but the kernel will always return to the
vsyscall page, which then returns back to us. Fun stuff. If you leave
the kernel hack for ud2 in your kernel, I would expect it to blow up in
amazing fashion when running the code below.
