Certain signal-handling functions are sibcalled from assembly on
x86, both on Linux and the Hurd.  As such, they depend on having
the same-shaped stack frame, an assumption it seems likely that
-fstack-protector violates.  More worryingly, setjmp/sigjmp.c lands
in the dynamic linker but is overlooked by the machinery that
rebuilds almost everything else, and is never rebuilt: so we
should compile it witout stack-protection for the sake of ld.so.

v2: de-stack-protect setjmp/sigjmp.c.
v3: Use $(no-stack-protector).
v4: Use inhibit_stack_protector.
v5: Remove inhibition of nptl/pthread_mutex_(un)lock.c now that is
    diagnosed and fixed elsewhere, properly; inhibit _hurd_self_sigstate
    instead.

	* hurd/hurd/signal.h (_hurd_self_sigstate): Add
	inhibit_stack_protector.
	* setjmp/Makefile (CFLAGS-sigjmp.c): Add $(no-stack-protector).
