Re: signals on latest linux kernels

[Jauder Ho <jauderho at transmeta dot com>]

	well.. we can use the linux method of generating version codes.

the version code is defined..
Makefile:       @echo \#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE `expr $(VERSION) \\*
65536 + $(PATCHLEVEL) \\* 256 + $(SUBLEVEL)` >> .ver

then have a 

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= 0x20119

then do something... i.e. do _NSIG instead of NSIG...
