But there seems to be another problem.
Why is pt_regs of type void *?

Perhaps same issue on ia64 - but symptoms are different:

The void * pointer is the problem.
On UML it builds fine when I cast it:
#define regs_return_value(r) UPT_SYSCALL_RET((struct uml_pt_regs *)r)

I'll test it tomorrow in detail, for now I'm too sleepy.
