Spotted in Debian's buildd logs: on ia64, clone(2) is not available:
the glibc wrapper is named __clone2() and it takes, additionally,
the size of the stack area passed by the caller.
Add a do_clone() wrapper handling the different cases, and also
taking care of pointing the child's stack in the middle of the
allocated area: on PA-RISC (hppa), handled by clone(), the stack
grows up, and on ia64 the stack grows down, but the register backing
store grows up -- and I think it might be actually used here.

v3: Don't call it __clone(), it conflicts with glibc on static builds
v2: Add a wrapper instead of two __ia64__ ifdefs
