This is needed when linking statically as SVR4 (ie, ELF) behavior is to only
link in a module if it satisfies an undefined strong reference from somewhere.
(this surprises a lot of people) Things are different when using shared libs,
the entire library and its modules and their symbols are available at run-time
(when the weak reference is seen to still be unsatisfied and is satisfied on
the spot), this is not the case with static libs.

Change signal handling so that signals are handled in the
context of the thread that is receiving the signal. When
signals are dispatched to a thread, a special signal handling
frame is created on top of the target threads stack. The
frame contains the threads saved state information and a new
context in which the thread can run. The applications signal
handler is invoked through a wrapper routine that knows how
to restore the threads saved state and unwind to previous
frames.
Fix interruption of threads due to signals. Some states
were being improperly interrupted while other states were

sigcontext_t as received from the process signal handler.
Modify the search for a thread to which a signal is delivered.
The search algorithm is now:
o First thread found in sigwait() with signal in wait mask.
o First thread found sigsuspend()'d on the signal.
o Current thread if signal is unmasked.
o First thread found with signal unmasked.
Collapse machine dependent support into macros defined in
pthread_private.h. These should probably eventually be moved
into separate MD files.
Change the range of settable priorities to be compliant with
POSIX (0-31). The threads library uses higher priorities
internally for real-time threads (not yet implemented) and
threads executing signal handlers. Real-time threads and
threads running signal handlers add 64 and 32, respectively,
to a threads base priority.
