On tpo of this patch, there's the following:
Put back some code to figure out what signal we're dealing with.

Now, not being as well versed in all of the debugging infos that can be
passed around, it sounds like this patch could be dropped in the future
for a cleaner method using some of the dwarf2 bits being talked about.
But I don't know, and clarification and pointers (if so) to how to do
this would be appreciated.
