SIGPWR?  Doesn't exist on *BSD.  Guess it uses some other random
signal there?

Didn't realize Guile used threads.  I guess that's safe if the
interpreter makes sure it never calls into GDB code concurrently.  But
it does make debugging GDB harder.  And I hope this is not an excuse
for other people to start using threads in other bits of GDB.
