Re: Linux/AXP signum.h

[A van Kessel <Adriaan van Kessel rivm nl>]

The #defines exist to hide the magic constants behind symbolic names.
Once compiled the symbolic names disappear. That is no big deal:
once compiled (for a specific platform) the exact values are correct
*for that platform* . In most cases the binary can only be run on that
platform. The binary compatibility OSF<-->linux on the alpha is more
important than the binaray compatibility (x86 <--> alpha) which is non-
existant.
So what's the probleb ?
