ALPHA: __NR_osf_sigaction vs. glibc

Sometime around 2.1.70 the system call number for sigaction() was renamed
from __NR_sigaction to __NR_osf_sigaction. This breaks the glibc building
process, as the original name is required. As far as I can tell, the names
containing "_osf_" are limited to those functions which have separate linux
and osf kernel implementations.

The following restores the original name and allows glibc to build.
