It would be nice to have a cooperation between glibc and the kernel to have syscalls mapped by name, not by number. With name->number resolved by crtbegin.o reading a public kernel table or accessing a fixed-ID kernel map function and filling a map. So if internally ( at the application ) sys_getpid has index 0, the sysmap[0] will be filled with the id retrieved inside the kernel by looking up "sys_getpid". Eat too spicy today ?
