We'll have to poke the glibc folks. In the meantime, Will Drewry found
a stable way to handle this. Just make the first set of includes and
defines be:

#include <asm/siginfo.h>
#define __have_siginfo_t 1
#define __have_sigval_t 1
#define __have_sigevent_t 1

Then the glibc includes won't attempt the redefinition.
