This sort of ordering bug seems to become a tradition.  I think it may be
a good idea to insert a check like this:

#ifdef ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS
#error ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS should not be defined yet!
#endif

Be very careful with parentheses in macros.  This line should probably
become:

	elf32_core_copy_regs(*(_dest), task_pt_regs(_tsk));		\

The changes to the first argument to bullet prof the macro and the change
to the second one for cosmetic reasons.
