Hi all,

On mips(el), when doing multiple call to the syscall SYS_personality in order to get the current personality (using 0xffffffff for the first argument), on a 64-bit kernel, the second and subsequent syscalls are failing. That works correctly with a 32-bit kernels and on other architectures.

That's caused by mis-handling broken sign extensions, see also
http://bugs.debian.org/380531.

I still got the exact same problem with this patch applied.
