Do not stack-protect sigreturn stubs [BZ #7065]
These are called from the kernel with the stack at a carefully- chosen location so that the stack frame can be restored: they must not move the stack pointer lest garbage be restored into the registers. We explicitly inhibit protection for SPARC and for signal/sigreturn.c: other arches either define their sigreturn stubs in .S files, or (i386, x86_64, mips) use macros expanding to top-level asm blocks and explicit labels in the text section to mock up a "function" without telling the compiler that one is there at all.
