Bah. I think Will already provided a good explantion for how this came to be. But for full transparency: I've ran into this exact issue before with other system calls we added and I've been notified/saved by Arnd who pointed out that this file needs to be updated. 32 bit arm has this annoying extra file where you need to bump that single line. But it'd be nice if we finally had some: ./add-new-syscall script that could automate adding a new system call number into all relevant architectures. Sorry for the breakage. I see that it's already fixed. I'll make a note to reactivate my cross-compilation toolsuite.
