[ bcc'd to alpha@ and ia64@ ]

I have a moderate (30k) patch to convert the various binary emulators
to use kern_sigaction(), kern_sigaltstack(), kern_sigprocmask(), and
kern_sigsuspend() instead of using the stackgap (or in the case of
ibcs2 bogusly _not_ using the stackgap) to try and call the syscall
functions directly.  The patch is at
http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/patches/compat.patch and affects the
following emulators:

- Linux on i386
- SVR4 on i386
- IBCS2 on i386
- OSF/1 on Alpha
- Linux on Alpha
- FreeBSD/ia32 on IA64

Please test and review.  Thanks.
