Notes:
1) On ppc64, the test cases actually exercise sys32_open. I added the 
another alias to sys32_open but I run into the user_string($filename) 
failure. It seems to get a bad address, I am not sure why.

2) After adding a few more probe aliases to the system call tapset, I 
encounter these compilation error when doing this "probe syscall.*{}"
[....]

if I remove them some of the probe aliases then, it compiled. Li 
GuangLei, I wonder that  you see the samething.
