Right, I meant to leave that part here and just revert
the Makefile changes until we have something that has
seen enough testing.

I have patches for all architectures at

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic.git/log/?h=syscall-tbl-6.11&id=92499ba526eac435

but I stopped after the ones using the generic syscall
table since I had spent more time making sure the actual
table contents are unchanged.

Right, I completely missed the "existing-targets" bit, and
without that I couldn't figure out the rest correctly.

I have checked this on the other architectures now and
tried out the bit with the changed command line I got
wrong.

Sorry for causing these problems and thanks a lot for
the fix!
