Which was buggy:

  static inline int __secure_computing(void) { return 0; }

Note the 'void' argument, while it should take an argument.

For example on x86-64 allnoconfig there's !CONFIG_SECCOMP.

Yeah, and the patch I sent makes this explicit instead of implicit.

I simply carried that #ifdef over from the x86 code, but indeed fixing 
the stub is a bit cleaner.

A build bug.
