I hadn't noticed that. I thought that it was called to translate
the signal number when sent to the target. Instead, target_signal_to_host()
is called.
Shall we drop the unused gdbarch API so as to avoid further confusion
then? Shouldn't target_signal_from_host be renamed to something closer to
what it really does, e.g. signal_from_target? It's not that host signals
really ever matter unless host == target in which case they're still
target signals too (this observation applies to gdbserver as well).
This would be OK with me. The gdbarch_target_signal_to_host interface
suggests that this should differ for different targets.
There is an old bug report about the unclear name for the function.
gdbarch_signal_from_target would be a better name.
