The behaviour is not too different now, it's now just the kernel that returns ENOSYS, not userspace. Since setns() has been added in kernel 3.0 (which is the minimum kernel we require) it sounds sensible to simply define the syscall number > I didn't knew the syscall numbers differs between architectures.

It gets even worse when you notice the x86 madness that is socketcall(), where they decided to multiplex all socket system calls through a single meta-syscall, just because.
