This patch made by Petr Salinger improves compatibility with
LinuxThreads in rfork() syscall. The Linux clone() implementation
allows specifying the signal sent to parent when child terminates
(instead of SIGCHLD).
As the threading implementation in Debian GNU/kFreeBSD is
LinuxThreads-based, we had to diverge from upstream kFreeBSD ABI and
implement this extension.
I hope it is acceptable for you to use the same encoding, this way we
would archieve ABI compatibility to run Debian GNU/kFreeBSD inside a
chroot/jail on top of a FreeBSD system.
Thanks for considering
