We're at a point where the discussion, altough meaningful and important,
has no direct impact on the sigset_t change. I agree with Peter that we
should as well consider the ucontext interface, but prefer to stay focussed
on changing sigset_t. So, here's where I shut up and let you discuss the
matter further :-)
FYI: I have reimplemented {sig|_}?{set|long}jmp to use the new sigset_t and
all works well. It's not really important for me at this time how these
functions are eventually implemented. For now I'm at least able to fix
userland code.
