Debian Linux now has at least one problem - there's no names for singals
in /usr/include/asm/singal.h (just numbers!)

Also, last time I compiled a new rc, this hit me:

#define _NSIG             32
#define NSIG            _NSIG

(the script tries to work out how many signals)

It would be nice to get a message for programs exiting on signals once
again (long ago I made my rc compile with names for all 31 signals defined
under Linux; current Debian packages don't give messages for many if any).

David.

PS: I did an rc port to BeOS mwcc recently, but won't bother submitting the
changes, since BeOS have dropped mwcc I believe and making it work under
that was ugly.

One thing that showed up which might be useful is

#ifndef SIGCHLD
#define SIGCHLD SIGCLD
#endif
