You completely fail to explain which build issue is addressed by this
patch. The code you added to kernel/signal.c which accesses _addr_bnd
is guarded by

+#ifdef SEGV_BNDERR

which is not defined my MIPS. Also why is this only affecting MIPS and
not any other architecture which provides its own struct siginfo ?

That patch makes no sense at all, at least not without a proper
explanation.

Thanks,
