System calls are very architecture dependent. getdents is decimal 141 on x86 (32 bit).
getdents is decimal 78 on x64 (64 bit). I imagine other architectures are different too. A quick check confirms this. getdents on ARM is 9437325 decimal. It's 174 decimal on Sparc64. At the very least, you can expect to encounter ARM and probably MIPS in addition to Intel.
