I doubt that anybody runs that script for strace, because the system call
table there contains also the number of arguments and type of call...

My script runs on arch/s390/kernel/syscalls.S while a generic script should
run on include/asm-[whatever]/unistd.h. I just did it this way because it
was easier for me (on s390). That is because the s390 unistd.h contains both
s390 and s390x defines and therefore also a lot of undefines and redefines,
which appear to be quite difficult to handle in script (at least if you're
new to perl like me ;).
