This is not the right fix.
You need something like e.g. s/u/s/l/x86_64/sysdep.h does:
/* This is a kludge to make syscalls.list find these under the names
   pread and pwrite, since some kernel headers define those names
   and some define the *64 names for the same system calls.  */
#if !defined __NR_pread && defined __NR_pread64
# define __NR_pread __NR_pread64
#endif
#if !defined __NR_pwrite && defined __NR_pwrite64
# define __NR_pwrite __NR_pwrite64
#endif

Otherwise, you won't be able to compile against older kernel headers.
