We require the prctl updates Marcelo just put in 2.4.21-pre4
for the sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc64/fe_nomask.c
change and our {get,set,swap,make}context changes require
some ppc64 64-bit signal changes which I've sent to Marcelo.
They'll hopefully show up in 2.4.21-pre5.  In the mean time, all
required kernel changes are available at www.penguinppc64.org.
