Well, the variable IS a global, shared by exceptions.cc and pinfo.cc, and explicitly stated to be global in the ChangeLog: 2005-09-19 Christopher Faylor * exceptions.cc (sigExeced): New global variable. By moving the definition to globals.cc, we get its extern declaration in the autogenerated globals.h -- which everybody includes via winsup.h. -- Chuck
