Re: [Patch] x % 0 hangs

   We need start with a working assumption that GDB is being run on POSIX 
   compliant systems and that implies a working sigsetjmp / siglongjmp. 
   Only when someone comes forward with a problematic system should we 
   worry about it (and possibly not even then).

Sorry, but I don't think fully POSIX compliant systems do actually
exist.  We should aim to have a working GDB on as many systems that
are in somewhat wide use as possible.  At the very minimum we should
support the latest official release of the GNU systems and other major
Free OS'es out there.

   (BTW, the other way to handle this is to implement a s/w emulation of 
   the inferior's arithmetic, that would never throw a SIGFPE).

Yes!
