commit: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=1239610e223358d31bd9126f3bc5928deeba5d5f
branch: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

uClibc on PowerPC forgot to define some PTRACE_* definitions. Even
though the Buildroot uClibc package has a fix for this, it doesn't fix
external uClibc toolchains that are not patched. Therefore this commit
adds a patch to Valgrind to workaround the problem by defining
PTRACE_GETSIGINFO to the appropriate value on PowerPC when it's not
defined by the C library.

+Define PTRACE_GETSIGINFO on PowerPC when not available
+
+uClibc 0.9.33.2 does not define PTRACE_GETSIGINFO in PowerPC. Even
+though Buildroot has a uClibc patch doing that, it doesn't solve the
+case of external uClibc toolchain from other sources (such as
+Crosstool-NG). Therefore, this patch modifies Valgrind to define
+PTRACE_GETSIGINFO on PowerPC to the right value, when such definition
+is not available from the C library.
