How about this one:

diff --git a/arch/x86/entry/syscall_x32.c b/arch/x86/entry/syscall_x32.c
index 3d8d70d3896c..0ce15807cf54 100644
--- a/arch/x86/entry/syscall_x32.c
+++ b/arch/x86/entry/syscall_x32.c
@@ -16,6 +16,9 @@
#undef __SYSCALL_X32
#undef __SYSCALL_COMMON

+#define __x32_sys_execve __x64_sys_execve
+#define __x32_sys_execveat __x64_sys_execveat
+
#define __SYSCALL_X32(nr, sym) [nr] = __x32_##sym,
#define __SYSCALL_COMMON(nr, sym) [nr] = __x64_##sym,

Still ugly, but much simpler and more localized (if it works).
