Hello,
current -git build breaks because of upstream commit
a337fdac7a5622d1e6547f4b476c14dfe5a2c892, which introduced
an unconditional check for siginfo_._sifields._sifault._si_addr_lsb field.
Is there a reason why MIPS doesn't use the default siginfo_t structure
as other architectures do?

History - the MIPS structure is identical to IRIX.

Does anyone still run IRIX binaries on current linux?
(and Isn't IRIX dead anyway? :) )

Doesn't matter - you can't change the definition without breaking
binary compatibility.
