The Alpha target code refers to "dynamically generated sigtramp function".
What exactly is meant by that? My guess is "signal trampoline code that
is copied to top of user stack by kernel when process exec's", i.e. the
traditional Unix-style signal trampoline. (In constrast to OSF/1, which
uses a signal trampoline provided by libc.)
Is this a good guess?
