  It was requested that I split the patch previously posted here:

https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-04/msg00907.html

into two parts.  This is the second part.  There are no changes from v1 
other than separating it from the part of the original patch that dealt 
with adjusting the register save area offset for the trampoline.  OK to 
commit now?

Hi Sandra,
I am inclined to fix this problem in a target-independent way.  There
was a discussion here https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2004-04/msg00089.html
and two approaches were discussed:

 1. insert the momentary breakpoint right to the place where signal was
 raised, to cross the signal handler trampoline,
 2. keep single stepping until it goes out the function or goes the
 right location.

These two are target-independent, and I don't have special preference on
them.

Sorry, I am afraid this patch can't go in, but your first three patches
can go in independently.
