The problem was in the rtld incarnation of that file.  It wasn't possible
to use __libc_fatal in rtld.  I've just committed a change to fix that.
So please put the cancellation.c change back in.

Note that this wasn't for i686-linux-gnu, in particular.  It was for
everything except x86_64-linux-gnu, which has its own cancellation.S.
That file should disappear with the big cancellation revamp anyway.


Thanks,
Roland
