Okay, in this case it looks like there is no need to use syscallent.h,
because default headers provide the same info in sense of asinfo
tool. Speaking about multiarch support I am coming to conclusion that I
am going to have to implement sort of midlayer for all archs, special
table. 

btw, aren't you against of creating new folder named "tools" for asinfo?
because analyzed a lot of solutions I came to conclusion that it is the
best way.
