Andries Brouwer just released man pages 1.7, so go for that.

Also there are some old section 2 pages which do not match reality.
mmap(2) comes to mind.  I bet flock(2) has some discrepancies too, and
some of the sig*(2) pages.

Linux/alpha has some new system calls not present in Linux/i386.
Is there a documentation policy in place for them?
