Very clear now, but not easy to implement:
- which name to give to such a macro
- where to implement it:
    the temptation to change the definition of SIG_IGN and SIG_DFL in asm-parisc/signal.h
is great but it will solve comparison pb but will broken variable affectation.
    So may be better to define something like:
#define CMP_SIG( (x), (cmp), (y) ( (x) (cmp) (void*)(y) )

(but care have to be taken to always place SIG_... at the right (y) place?)

then change all occurences of SIG_... comparison??

There must be better idea else where but I ignore it :(
Also suggestion is welcome.

Thanks again,
    Joel
