[Bug tapsets/13480] ARM missing syscall.sigaltstack


http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13480

--- Comment #3 from David Smith <dsmith at redhat dot com> ---
The following kernel commit switched arm to using the generic sigaltstack:

    arm: switch to generic sigaltstack

Looks like this commit is present in 3.9. So, for 3.9+ kernels, this issue
should be fixed.

If we want to try to fix this for kernels <= 3.8, we could either:

1) Use 'do_sigaltstack' for syscall.sigaltstack, since sys_sigaltstack just
seems to be a wrapper for it anyway.

2) To just get things to compile, use 'never' for syscall.sigaltstack.
