Does this merit a line in UPDATING?

> Enable the libc-provided signal trampoline.  The old __sigaction14
> entry point has been replaced by the new __sigaction14() which is a
> wrapper around the __sigaction_sigtramp system call (which is itself
> not directly exposed outside of libc).

> No shared library version change is necessary; no new symbols
> are exposed outside of libc.
