I dropped signal() from klibc entirely, because I didn't like the
ambiguity between SysV and BSD semantics. "On modern Linux systems"
refer to the unilateral decision of glibc to switch from signal()
meaning sysv_signal() to signal() meaning bsd_signal().
This *did* turn out to be a reasonable thing to do, as most code out
there that uses unadorned signal() appears to be BSD-derived.
I specifically stated in the README for klibc that "if you want signal,
compile with -Dsignal=bsd_signal or -Dsignal=sysv_signal".
woow, thanks for the guidance.
that went unnoticed in Debian/Ubuntu for all available klibc builds.
will take care to have it set in the next upload, so don't have to
bother karel with my stupid patch.
OK, I just make signal() default to an alias for bsd_signal().
