PowerPC SIGSTKSZ

http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-08/msg00093.html

This copies the sparc version of sigstack.h, which gives powerpc
 #define MINSIGSTKSZ     4096
 #define SIGSTKSZ        16384

Before the VSX changes, struct rt_sigframe size was 1920 plus 128 for
__SIGNAL_FRAMESIZE giving ppc64 exactly the default MINSIGSTKSZ of
2048.

After VSX, ucontext increased by 256 bytes.  Oops, we're over
MINSIGSTKSZ, so powerpc has been using the wrong value for quite a
while.  Add another ucontext for TM and rt_sigframe is now at 3872,
giving actual MINSIGSTKSZ of 4000.

The glibc testcase that I was looking at was tst-cancel21, which
allocates 2*SIGSTKSZ (not because the test is trying to be
conservative, but because the test actually has nested signal stack
frames).  We blew the allocation by 48 bytes when using current
mainline gcc to compile glibc (le ppc64).

The required stack depth in _dl_lookup_symbol_x from the top of the
next signal frame was 10944 bytes.  I guess you'd want to add 288 to
that, implying an actual SIGSTKSZ of 11232.
