Here is the logic of identifying the generated script is for compat interface
or not. So systbl_abi_syscall_table_c32 := common,compat,32 in Makefile
will parse the script and check the second string whether this is
"compat" or not.

Other ways are:
1. add an extra flag, that will again add the complexity
2. check if [ ${out: -5} = "c32.h" ], this looks weird

Is there any better way to do the same?

What part is that comment directed at? I guess it's the next hunk, so I'll comment on that.

"<<<" is a bash extension and will not work with /bin/sh.

I would go for a local variable being set to $compat or $entry and
calling emit at only one place. And there should be only one if with 2
expressions, no need for 3 branches.

if [ $my_abi = "compat" -a -n "${compat}" ]; then
    somevar=${compat}
else
    somevar=${entry}
fi
emit $nxt $nr $somevar
