Looks like uClibc include/bits/shm.h file was never modified to work
after the glibc header import a long time ago.  While the uClibc
shm* functions just invoke the syscalls directly, glibc adds padding
and does field-by-field assignment to preserve binary compatibility
in spite of kernel header changes.  It will be fixed.
