Building glibc for n32 or n64. There's only __NR_umount2, no
__NR_umount or __NR_oldumount.

Err... Why? I mean, is there any code that actually calls it?
Anyway, I realize x86_64 and hppa are in similar situations, and they
have an umount.c that should do for mips64 as well. I'll submit this
change along with some other cvs adds for linux/mips/mips64.
