Sam broke this with

commit 1f2bfbd00e466ff3489b2ca5cc75b1cccd14c123
Author: Sam Ravnborg &lt;sam@ravnborg.org&gt;
Date:   Sat May 5 10:18:41 2012 +0200

    kbuild: link of vmlinux moved to a script

But we should be deriving the location of libgcc in the same way as all
the other archs, so fix by adding a LIBGCC variable which is evaluated
in the makefile

commit 36126f8f2ed8168eb13aa0662b9b9585cba100a9
Author: Linus Torvalds &lt;torvalds@linux-foundation.org&gt;
Date:   Sat May 26 10:43:17 2012 -0700

    word-at-a-time: make the interfaces truly generic

By moving functions defined in strncopy_from_user.c into the asm-geneic
version word-at-a-time.h.  Spark and OpenRisc were fixed to use this, but
not parisc.  Fix by adding to generic-y in asm/Kbuild

Al viro broke us with

commit edd63a2763bdae0daa4f0a4d4c5d61d1154352a5
Author: Al Viro &lt;viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk&gt;
Date:   Fri Apr 27 13:42:45 2012 -0400

    set_restore_sigmask() is never called without SIGPENDING (and never should be)

Although it's pretty much our fault since parisc's asm/bug.h uses
BUGWARN_TAINT but doesn't include the file that defines it.  Fix that.

  Normally it would've been in two or three pull requests, but
  signal.git stuff had eaten a lot of time during this cycle ;-/"

Fix up trivial conflicts in Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt (the
'truncate_range' inode method was removed by the VM changes, the VFS
update adds an 'update_time()' method), and in fs/btrfs/ulist.[ch] (due
to sparse fix added twice, with other changes nearby).

Does block_sigmask() + tracehook_signal_handler();  called when
sigframe has been successfully built.  All architectures converted
to it; block_sigmask() itself is gone now (merged into this one).

I'm still not too happy with the signature, but that's a separate
story (IMO we need a structure that would contain signal number +
siginfo + k_sigaction, so that get_signal_to_deliver() would fill one,
signal_delivered(), handle_signal() and probably setup...frame() -
take one).

Only 3 out of 63 do not.  Renamed the current variant to __set_current_blocked(),
added set_current_blocked() that will exclude unblockable signals, switched
open-coded instances to it.
