Thanks for catching this! It looks like audit.h is missing
AUDIT_ARCH_OPENRISC entirely, and that openrisc doesn't need an
audit_arch() function at all. It could use AUDIT_ARCH_OPENRISC once
that existed, which would just be EM_OPENRISC. (It looks like little
endian mode isn't used.)
I'll send a patch...
