These fixes were tested on i386 GNU/Linux systems that include a 2.4

Please note that kernel bugs are a limiting factor here. These
features have been shown to work on an s390 GNU/Linux system that
include a 2.6.8-rc1 kernel. Ref PR breakpoints/1702.

*** Signal handlers
On many systems an attempt to single-step a system-call instruction
results in two or more instructions being executed (the system-call,
and one or more instructions following).
When attempting to single-step through a signal trampoline, this
problem may result the program unintentionally running to completion,
or re-execute the faulting instruction, or even corrupting the program
counter.
