problem being, that the bad patch that was identified in the first post:

Author: Roland McGrath <roland@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Sun Dec 23 12:47:41 2007 +0100

x86 user_regset math_emu

This converts the ptrace/signal accessors for i387 math_emu

from the old interfaces.

is only included in x86.git AFAIK. Maybe this commit is not really the
culprit?
