Right.  I see the code that's causing the problem in kernel/signal.c:

                if (k->sa.sa_handler == SIG_IGN
		    || (k->sa.sa_handler == SIG_DFL


You don't want to canonicalize k->sa.sa_handler here, so a cast to
void * or something is needed.  The PA is the only port that I am
aware of that needs to canonicalize function pointers.
