Indeed, but all plateforms in that area have been declared trapping on
integers.

In this specific case, the claim is that division by zero does not
trap.  I would think that 

     int main()
     {
        volatile int zero = 0;
        return 1 / zero;
     }

would run without delivering any signal, therefore should be included
in the patch (or variation of that).
