I see pselect has the oddest kernel interface since the last odd one.
However the bit long data[2] = { (long)mask, _NSIG/8 }; looks like it
could be incorrect on MIPS where _NSIG is 128... is that right?
(just got a mips box, must install it).

Why do you think it's wrong? All of the kernel interfaces that take a
sigset_t argument include an additional argument specifying the usable
size of the sigset_t, and the kernel issues an error (EINVAL if I'm
not mistaken) unless the argument matches the kernel's idea of the
size of sigset_t. On MIPS, the expected size is 16.

Sorry, ignore me, I misread it...
