Uli, you reverted my patch - without fixing the problem. Why? Could
you tell me how to fix the problem?  The interface itself seems to be
broken - at least if gregset_t is a struct!

Here's the compiler error again I get on MIPS:
td_thr_getgregs.c: In function `td_thr_getgregs':
td_thr_getgregs.c:38: incompatible types in initialization
td_thr_getgregs.c:38: incompatible type for argument 1 of `memset'
