I hope so too:-)
netbsd32 has its own signal delivery code in netbsd32_machdep.c,
and I've left it alone.

In theory, they should continue working - sigaction() would first
try to install a version-1 trampoline which is rejected by the
kernel, and then fall back to version 2 automatically.

There is another annoying waste of cycles btw which we can't
get rid off without changing MI code: If COMPAT_16 is defined
(for netbsd32's sake), each native process gets sigcode..esigcode
mapped in, completely unnecessary.
