SA_ONSTACK problems in the libraries.

It have added SA_ONSTACK support to the kernel (support for separate
signal stacks).  Some library fixes are required.  I have
glibc-961212-1m and it has the following problems:

   the /usr/include/signal.h has the ss_flag and ss_size parameters
   reversed in the sigaltstack structure (as opposed to
   /usr/include/asm/signal.h).

   SA_ONSTACK needed to be added to /usr/include/sigaction.h

   the sigaltstack() call just returns and error and doesn't do
   the library call.

Who fixes these types of problems, since they are PowerPC specific?
