And new (>403) syscalls now use the same number on all architectures, so in principle there should be no need to rebuild libraries to get a __NR_foobar definition on a given architecutre -- libraries should be able to simply do a -ENOSYS check at runtime with an non-arch-specific __NR_foobar value.
