I see, but why were they numbered differently? Why not use the same numbers? | ||

As far as I know, the numbers were assigned independently by each port's developers in the 90s as they added calls in their own order. Then it became a frozen ABI nobody could ever renumber, and couldn't have been identical anyway since arches need different syscall variants for things like 32bit vs 64bit types | ||
