Aparently they don't, I've reruned the script and the result is that git
diff shows 6125 lines of changes. And the last time the *.in files were
changed was 2010...

Which is another reason why we need proper solution.


What about we:

 1) Commit the up to date linux_syscall_numbers.h

 2) Add linux_syscall_numbers.h dependency on *.in
    
    - that would regenerate the file on change, but only
      from the top make and will catch the change
      most of the time

Which would IMHO be good short term fix and figure out something better
later.
