[Mono-devel-list] [PATCH] Trace at will

[Bill Middleton]

As Martin pointed out, this applied to very old version of FreeBSD. After 
diffing against the older version of gcconfig.h, I see that the redefinition 
of SIG_SUSPEND and SIG_THR_RESTART to USR1 and USR2 respectively applied 
exclusively to FreeBSD, and was specific to the port to FreeBSD4.x. Mono 
works fine without USR1 and USR2 on all FreeBSD > 5.3.
