Right, we need to make the syscall tables for all arches to be built in
all arches, meaning we can translate from syscall numbers found in
tracepoints collected in one arch and present in a perf.data file while
doing analysis on another machine of a different architecture, just like
we do with errno numbers.

This way we would notice these kinds of problems immediatelly while
building anywhere.

I squashed your fix as requested and will force push the result.
