This is overengineered. The only reason to make the syscall check
for each and every build was that this was easy and the missing syscalls
are easy to spot during a normal build.
But checking all combinations is just not worth it.
The arch responsible are assumed to build for the different architectures
once in a while so a missing syscall are likely to be detected anyway.

We cannot run each and every consistency check in all combinations
for each build - that would end in only build noise.
