Ok, so after looking at:

commit eef289f79c03ba5ca197e2ac1e33906175f01c39
Author: Paul Mackerras <paulus@...ba.org>
Date:   Mon Oct 10 22:56:11 2005 +1000

    powerpc: Merge asm/unistd.h

Humm, we need to create two tables, one for 32-bit and another for 64,
even with ppc not having (AFAIK) clashes in syscall numbers for 32/64...

Trying to do it now.
