Right, this is not new ugliness, but indeed a good opportunity to clean
up.

That file reads:

#define setup_arg_pages(bprm,tos,exec)          ia32_setup_arg_pages(bprm,exec)

....

#include "../../../fs/binfmt_elf.c"

....

int
ia32_setup_arg_pages (struct linux_binprm *bprm, int executable_stack)
{
        int ret;

        ret = setup_arg_pages(bprm, IA32_STACK_TOP, executable_stack);
/---------------^
We really want to call the real setup_arg_pages() here, not ourselves please.

        if (!ret) {
                /*
                 * Can't do it in ia64_elf32_init(). Needs to be done before
                 * calls to elf32_map()
                 */
                current->thread.ppl = ia32_init_pp_list();
        }

        return ret;
}
