Good catch! This has been broken for a long time, at least it predates
git history.  At first glance, sh, sparc, and sparc64 have a
sys_semtimedop() reference that will never be invoked, while other
platforms (h8300, m68k, and m68knommu) don't implement it at all and
simply -ENOSYS (or -EINVAL) out.

Since these nommu platforms haven't supported semtimedop() since its
introduction in 2.5.52, they may want to think about hooking it up at
some point. Both glibc and uClibc support it today.

sparc64's compat_sys_ipc() does the right thing while the built-in
sys_ipc() has the same bug you've noted. So, here are the sparc/sparc64
bits.
