Please find below a patch for 2.6.18, which should also apply to all
pre- x86/x86-64 merge 2.6 kernels.

x86: Clear DF before calling signal handler
The Linux kernel currently does not clear the direction flag before
calling a signal handler, whereas the x86/x86-64 ABI requires that.
This become a real problem with gcc version 4.3, which assumes that
the direction flag is correctly cleared at the entry of a function.
This patches changes the setup_frame() functions to clear the
direction before entering the signal handler.
