    sys/pc98/i386        machdep.c 
  Log:
  Use osigreturn(2) instead of sigreturn(2) plus broken magic for returning
  from old signal handlers.  This is simpler and faster, and fixes (new)
  sigreturn(2) when %eip in the new signal context happens to match the
  magic value (0x1d516).  0x1d516 is below the default ELF text section,
  so this probably never broken anything in practice.
  
  locore.s:
  In addition, don't build the signal trampoline for old signal handlers
  when it is not used.
  
  alpha:
  Not fixed, but seems to be even less broken in practice due to more
  advanced magic. A false match occurs for register #32 in mc_regs[].
  Since there is no hardware register #32, a false match is only possible
  for direct calls to sigreturn(2) that happen to have the magic number
  in the spare mc_regs[32] field.
