I'll try to do it but do not want to make you wait too long in case it
gets delayed. In the worst case we should only postpone the getauxval()
patch and not the other ones.

BTW, do you think your arch-specific changes for sigaction() will be
easily portable to other architectures ? I feel a bit wary of starting
to have different features per architecture given the purpose of the
lib, so the more uniform the coverage the better.

I'll get back to you soon.
