Dear Maintainer,

signal.h on arm64/aarch64 incorrectly exports various PSR_MODE_* defines,
polluting the namespace and causing applications which themselves define those
names to FTBFS. For example this prevents the Xen userspace tools from being
built on arm64.

I reported this to Linaro:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-aarch64/+bug/1169164

And they have had a fix applied upstream:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=7d05a8168b45c0580e1f9a79c2dd26c8f0d31fca;hp=af121e371d6d1a46df72d59f3a6b521eb12a9c6e

I would really appreciate it if this could be propagated into the Debian
packaging so I can update the Xen packages to build on arm64.

Many thanks,
Ian.
