Please try this patch on top of the previous one. The way abort is
redefined in the kernel code doesn't work for one place using it in an
expression; this patch changes a comma expression to a statement
expression. This didn't appear in my powerpc testing because the powerpc
emulation never uses FP_FROM_INT; I'm not sure how Kaz's sh testing
avoided the problem appearing there.
