I've been working on the hppa port this weekend.

The ____longjmp_check implementation will be checked in by the end of today.
The PIE fix will also be checked in by the end of today.
Unforutnately in addition to this I had to implement the
_STACK_GROWS_UP case for nptl/pthread_create.c, which is currently
#error "to do", therefore the hppa port will never compile with 2.11
because of this and upstream is already tagged.
I don't know if upstream will be willing to create a 2.11.1 with the
_STACK_GROWS_UP fix.
Cheers,
Carlos.
