Please split this for correctness, e.g.

  # Remove recvfrom from auto-generation syscalls.list on all Linux
    architectures.
  # Remove recv from auto-generation syscalls.list on architectures that
    use __NR_recv.

You surely don't define __NR_* for any architecture, do you?

This is also misleading, you probably mean

  # Define __ASSUME_RECVFROM_SYSCALL by default, undef it for
    architectures that do not support __NR_recvfrom.

Too many underscores in "__ASSUME_RECVFROM__SYSCALL".

This is misleading: the change undefs __ASSUME_RECVFROM_SYSCALL when
the kernel does not support __NR_recvfrom.

The removal of #define is not undefine, it's remove.
