To my forwarding of Andrew's (first) response to the Java list,
I got this response from Bryce McKinlay <bryce@waitaki.otago.ac.nz>:
Ideally the GC should just use "real-time" signals for the thread
suspend/resume on systems which support them. GDB won't stop on an RT
signal. Linux didn't support them until a few years ago but it should be
easy enough to do a configure test instead of the "# if
defined(GC_HPUX_THREADS) || defined(GC_OSF1_THREADS)" that is currently
done in boehm-gc/linux_threads.c.

Bryce.
