seems to me that this code is fundamentally taking the wrong approach.  it
should just use SYS_xxx that sys/syscall.h already provides.

I guess the original approach originates from time when kernel headers were more often broken than not for userspace. I've attached a new patch that includes sys/syscall.h and removes the local defines. It passes the testsuite on x86, x86_64, arm eabi and 64bit arm.
