Yes, _syscallN() is Linux-specific, unportable, and deprecated.
syscall() is much more widely available (it's been around "forever"),
portable, and can be used when necessary. Of course, if you can
assume that you have a recent enough libc, justs calling the
appropriate syscall-stubs is even better.
