I'm trying to get at the future seccomp fields on siginfo_t, namely
"si_syscall":

static void reporter(int nr, siginfo_t *info, void *void_context)
{
...
    syscall = info->si_syscall;

Yeah, it looks like you're leaning on glibc's signal.h (and its
bits/signal.h file), which has its own siginfo definition rather than
attempting to include one from the kernel.
