Just hit the following build failure with CONFIG_AUDIT=y:

arch/x86/ia32/audit.c: In function ‘ia32_classify_syscall’:
arch/x86/ia32/audit.c:38:7: error: ‘__NR_execveat’ undeclared (first use in this function)
arch/x86/ia32/audit.c:38:7: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
make[2]: *** [arch/x86/ia32/audit.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [arch/x86/ia32] Error 2
make: *** [arch/x86] Error 2
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Looks related to David's (CC'ed) recent execveat changes in commit 27d6ec7ad

Config attached.
