Hello,

The attached makes mention of all the signal changes in the NEWS file.

Thoughts?

Gives the suggestion it will work for the reader's target, whatever

Bah, wrong patch ....

*** Changes since GDB 6.1:

+* Signal trampoline code overhauled
+
+Many generic problems with GDB's signal handling code have been fixed.
+These include: support for sigaltstack and sigaction; backtrace from a
+NULL pointer call; backtrace through a signal trampoline; step into
+and out of signal handlers; and single-stepping in the signal
+trampoline.
+
+Note that kernel and architecture specific limitations may still
+restrict this functionality (ref PR gdb/1639).
+
* Cygwin support for DWARF 2 added.

* Fixed build problem on IRIX 5
