[COMMITTED] Add SIGWINCH to generic <bits/signum.h>.
Commit Message
The only configuration affected by this is NaCl. I've declared it a "bug
fix" because all real-world POSIX systems have SIGWINCH, so the "generic"
GNU API should include it.
Thanks,
Roland
* bits/signum.h: Update comments to mention 1003.1-2013 too.
(SIGWINCH): New macro.

If it's a publicly visible bug it should have a bug filed for it.

Well, it was only visible in the arm-nacl configuration, and there has not
been a release that had that configuration. So so such bugs were actually
user-visible for certain definitions of user.

OK.
Should NaCl get mention in the README?

I was going to add it to the list when I added the NEWS item. But then I
noticed that the list of tuples is titled ".. for using Linux kernels" and
README and failed to notice the whole separate paragraph about Hurd. As is
the case for Hurd, people interested in the NaCl configuration will be
starting from NaCl information and get their pointers to building glibc
that way. I don't think anybody getting glibc and not knowing about NaCl
support already will be looking at README to find it.

That seems like a poor excuse for not updating README?
Add some text about the port and point to the online docs?
