It is:
  syscall is emphasised, since that's both the fundamental point
  and a subtle difference as compared to the very strong binding of
  the "long" which also designates a C type, and
  long is Some Object, not a type itself.

You may prefer sth like I[syscall] B[long]
(which I'd say is slightly worse because the whole point is that the
 syscall long is not long on X32, so the long is not literal),
but having them both be I would be misleading.

Best,
