Hi
Regarding this issue I'm woundering if anyone could give me a hint of
when Linux is using "signal trampolines"? When reading in
gdb/i386-linux-tdep.c large portion of it handles them but I can't get
the kernel to generate them. Using a simple signal handler in my
userspace test-app seems not enough.
