You mean the real rt_sigreturn I committed a few days ago? Funny because
it did not make a difference for my failing java regression test. If I can
find what is wrong with that one, java-1.4 will run reliably. Anyway
the work that needs to be done is in two areas:

1. change the number of signals in the system from 32 to 64; this is pretty
   trivial and IIRC most of the change is in <sys/signal.h>
2. bring all the changes from head to the 1.6.1 branch, eliding the lwp ones.

This is a bunch of work because you'll have to submit individual patches.
