http://david.woodhou.se/sigmasking.c is a good one for testing
sigsuspend after hooking up TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK stuff and the generic
sys_rt_sigsuspend(), although it's not actually my code. There were a
bunch of other tests in a tarball with that (on linux-arch a year or two
ago) which arch maintainers should also use occasionally when they play
with signal or ptrace code.

When I get back home I'll tidy up and publish the hacks I used for
testing pselect() and ppoll() so that those can be tested without
actually rebuilding glibc.
