This is okay, but too wordy at times.  Suggest the following variant
instead:

    Catch system calls by their names and/or numbers.\n\
    Arguments say which system calls to catch.  If no arguments\n\
    are given, every system call will be caught.\n\
    Arguments, if given, should be one or more system call names\n\
    if your system supports that), or system call numbers."),



My only other comment about the code part is that it would be nice to
have somewhere a description of what a target should do to add support
for this feature.
