That's a strange wording.  Wouldn't it be better to say

  Catchpoint 1 (any syscall)

?

Also, please use (@value{GDBP}) (P, not N) instead of a literal (gdb),
when you show a prompt.

I'd prefer

   Catchpoint 1 (call to syscall 'close')

> +(gdb) catch syscall chroot

"syscalls 'chroot'" (in plural) or "syscall 'chroot'" (single)?

The translation to a mnemonic name will only happen if the XML file
does know about the syscall, right?  What if it doesn't?

Otherwise, the doco patch is approved.

Thanks.
