There's no such thing as "building musl with linux 3.7". musl need not
be built on a Linux system at all; there's no build-time dependency on
Linux, only run-time.
As for what happens at run-time, the wrong values of the syscall
numbers presumably don't work at all, or worse yet do the wrong thing.
I'm not sure if the fixed values work if called when running on the
old kernel, but for practical purposes that kernel should just be
considered buggy/not-usable or "not supporting these new syscalls
yet" for x32. In any case they're new nonstandard ones and essentially
unused at this time.
