Ah, yes, you are right. Much better.

But. It seems, it also needs to do s/siginfo_t/compat_siginfo/ somehow,
a simple '#define' obviously can't work.

IOW, elf_thread_core_info.signote should be either siginfo_t or
compat_siginfo, but the argument passed to ->core_dump() and callees
should be siginfo_t.
