Thanks ;)

Do you think __HAVE_ARCH_SIG_* actually make sense? Only __i386__ and m68k
define _BITOPS, and nobody defines _SETOPS. Does this asm really helps to
generate a better code?

It seems to me it would be better to always use the generic code, although
perhaps we should cleanup it and even convert to use bitops/bitmask. The
home-grown bitmask implementation in signal.h looks a bit ugly.

At least we should move the definition of sigset_t into linux/signal.h,
this should be simple. It must be the same on every arch anyway, at least
has_pending_signals() assumes that sigset_t == long[_NSIG_WORDS].

And I can't understand why do we need rt_sigmask()... I think we can just
do

	- #define sigmask(sig)	(1UL << ((sig) - 1))
	+ #define sigmask(sig)  (1ULL << ((sig) - 1))

This should not change the code generation, gcc is smart enough, sig is
always constant...

Looks like, this code needs a lot of boring cleanups.

Oleg.
