Latest 2.6.36-rc1 git fails to build on a s390 with

arch/s390/kernel/process.c:272: error: conflicting types for 'sys_execve'
arch/s390/kernel/entry.h:45: error: previous declaration of 'sys_execve' was here
make[1]: *** [arch/s390/kernel/process.o] Error 1

This error was introduced via commit :

commit d7627467b7a8dd6944885290a03a07ceb28c10eb
Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer

I guess the corresponding definition of sys_execve()
in arch/s390/kernel/entry.h also needs an update.

Fix is uploaded to git390. Tomorrows -next tree should work again.
The patch is still missing from Linus's tree.
2.6.36-rc2-git1 (9ee4747..) fails with the same error.

Thanks
