Hello,

The attached makes mention of all the signal changes in the NEWS file.

Thoughts?


Gives the suggestion it will work for the reader's target, whatever
that may be.  Lots of our targets still don't support this.

Bah, wrong patch ....

 *** Changes since GDB 6.1:
 
+* Signal trampoline code overhauled
+
+Many generic problems with GDB's signal handling code have been fixed.
+These include: support for sigaltstack and sigaction; backtrace from a
+NULL pointer call; backtrace through a signal trampoline; step into
+and out of signal handlers; and single-stepping in the signal
+trampoline.
+
+Note that kernel and architecture specific limitations may still
+restrict this functionality (ref PR gdb/1639).

 * Cygwin support for DWARF 2 added.
 
 * Fixed build problem on IRIX 5
