The complaints were when there was jump_label code in
include/linux/thread_info.h. Now that the code is isolated to
mm/usercopy.c, it successfully builds for m68k with mention of
CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL and CONFIG_SMP_BROKEN removed.

I'll send out a new patch in the morning after I test some more.

Thanks,

Chris
