The bug happens inside sigsetjmp, which is a routine saving the current
context. So, if the libc is compiled with iwmmmxt support, and more
importantly, if the kernel is compiled with iwmmxt support, sigsetjmp
probably saves the floating point registers.

So another simple thing to try is to disable iwmmxt support in kernel
configuration.
