Did you do 'make mrproper' before rebuilding UML with it?

Also, can you do

grep -EriIn 'x86.*hweight\.h' arch/um/

after having applied the patch?

You shouldn't be getting any matches. If it still fails then, then it is
something else since with this patch, UML includes the standard hweight*
routines.
