Patch to fix IPC on old kernels

uClibc is hard coded to use "64-bit" data structures for SysVIPC that were
added in Linux 2.4.  As a result, SysVIPC will not work correctly on older
kernels.

I'm including a patch to fix this.  My patch translates the new structures used
in userspace into the old compatible kernel structures, as needed.

(The "uclibc_khpresence.h" header created by the patch includes one definition
not needed for this specific bug, but it will be used by my solution to a
different bug.)
