I had two different but related concerns, regarding this 5th patch:

1. linux-record.c is really i386 specific, so it should be called
i386-linux-record.c.

2. If the information that needs to be recorded for each syscall (not
the syscall number) is the same accross architectures, the code in
linux-record.c could be made arch-independent and then we wouldn't need
to have this big chunk of code duplicated for each arch supporting
record functionality.

I'm fine with leaving 2 to be investigated/addressed when record adds
support for its 2nd arch. It also may prove impractical, since there may
be slight differences in syscalls for each arch.
