This patch breaks get_errno().

On a 64bit target, if errno is 22, host_to_target_errno(22) is (unsigned
int)-22 = 0xffffffea, and get_errno() is (abi_long)0xffffffea =
0x000000000xffffffea = 4294967274. It is not negative, and thus is not
an error.

host_to_target_errno() and target_to_host_errno() must stay signed.
