This change breaks GCC:

    In file included from 
/scratch/tschwing/FM_sh-linux-gnu-mk2/src/gcc-mainline/libgcc/unwind-dw2.c:377:0:
    ./md-unwind-support.h: In function 'sh_fallback_frame_state':
    ./md-unwind-support.h:182:17: error: field 'info' has incomplete type

In my case, this is really libgcc/config/sh/linux-unwind.h:

    [...]
       181            struct rt_sigframe {
       182              struct siginfo info;
       183              struct ucontext uc;
       184            } *rt_ = context->cfa;
    [...]

There are more such cases:

    boehm-gc/os_dep.c:#   define SIGINFO_T struct siginfo
    libgcc/config/alpha/linux-unwind.h:   struct siginfo info;
    libgcc/config/bfin/linux-unwind.h:    struct siginfo *pinfo;
    libgcc/config/bfin/linux-unwind.h:    struct siginfo info;
    libgcc/config/i386/linux-unwind.h:    struct siginfo *pinfo;
    libgcc/config/i386/linux-unwind.h:    struct siginfo info;
    libgcc/config/ia64/linux-unwind.h:    struct siginfo *info;
    libgcc/config/ia64/linux-unwind.h:    struct siginfo *info;
    libgcc/config/mips/linux-unwind.h:    struct siginfo info;
    libgcc/config/pa/linux-unwind.h:    struct siginfo info;
    libgcc/config/sh/linux-unwind.h:      struct siginfo *pinfo;
    libgcc/config/sh/linux-unwind.h:      struct siginfo info;
    libgcc/config/sh/linux-unwind.h:      struct siginfo info;
    libgcc/config/tilepro/linux-unwind.h:    struct siginfo info;
    libgcc/config/xtensa/linux-unwind.h:    struct siginfo info;

(Is there really nobody doing nightly testing of GCC against glibc master
branch on x86, which would have shown this earlier?)

Replacing struct siginfo with siginfo_t in sh/linux-unwind.h makes the
build pass.  Is this the desired approach; shall we apply this for all
cases listed above (and submit to Boehm GC upstream)?  I wonder -- if GCC
breaks, how much software out in the wild is going to break once this
glibc change ripples through?
