Okay, but:

I'd prefer that we spell out what this ``support for sigaltstack and
sigaction'' means, in user-level terms.  That is, what exactly didn't
work before and now does, when sigaltstack and sigaction are involved?

How about being more explicit here?  What configurations have this
new support, and which don't?  Can we list at least the more popular
platforms in each category?
