This is a kernel problem, where we use the "std" assembler command to store a 
u64 value to user-space:
See at include/asm-parisc/uaccess.h:  macro __put_user:
  case 8: __put_kernel_asm("std",x,ptr); break;       \

Sadly "std" is only available on 64 bit PA CPUs and gcc knows that and give you
the above error in 32bit kernel builds.

Greetings,
Helge.
