According to Mike Frysinger, this patch was removed from Gentoo in the
2.3.x series and didn't seem to cause any adverse effects. So toss it
from the patch directories for glibc 2.5 and up.

11 On sh[34]-linux, memset function does not work if 2nd argument is negative
12 and 3rd argument is greater than 12.
13 for example, memset(ptr, "\xda", 20) sets 0xff instead of 0xda.
15 Attached patch fixes this problem.
17 * sysdeps/sh/memset.S (memset): Correct 2nd argument handling.
