This is not a sentence, isn't it?  "where" -> "are"???  I dunno.

So not just on QNX and NonStop, we have SA_RESTART defined
everywhere.  I do not know offhand what the ramifications of this
change is, but we seem to use the symbol in places outside #ifdef
meaning that anybody other than QNX and NonStop that lack SA_RESTART
wouldn't have been able to build Git before this change, and now
they would be.  The resulting binary may not work for them at all
yet but that is not any worse than before.
