x32: Fix alignment fail in struct compat_siginfo
Adding struct _sigchld_x32 caused a misalignment cascade in struct siginfo, because union _sifields is located on an 4-byte boundary (8-byte misaligned.) Adding new fields that are 8-byte aligned caused the intermediate structures to also be aligned to 8 bytes, thereby adding padding in unexpected places. Thus, change s64 to compat_s64 here, which makes it "misaligned on paper". In reality these fields *are* actually aligned (there are 3 preceeding ints outside the union and 3 inside struct _sigchld_x32), but because of the intervening union and struct it is not possible for gcc to avoid padding without breaking the ABI.
