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.
