The api.txt file does not include the values of constants. It needs to do so.
Named constants must not change value over the lifetime of Go 1.
If we have made any such mistakes already, we need to identify them.
We need to have this fix in place for Go 1.2 to prevent future mistakes.

Comment 1:

In pkg syscall, at least IFLA_MAX went from 0x1c to 0x1d from go1 to tip in
ztypes_linux_386.go.  There are likely more.

Comment 2:

It matters when the tip change happened (before or after go1). Let's make
cmd/api tell us the full set and then decide what to do.

api: update go1.1, except and next.txt with constant values
O_SYNC changes only on linux-arm (and linux-arm-cgo), but
changes to match O_SYNC on linux-{386,amd64} and what Linux
upstream now uses.  See discussion and links on
