[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/3] enable tb unlinking when compiled with NPTL

[riku . voipio]

From: Riku Voipio <address@hidden>

Fixes recieving signals when guest code is being executed in a tight
loop. For an example, try interrupting the following code with ctrl-c.

http://nchipin.kos.to/test-loop.c

The tight loop is ofcourse brainless, but it is also exactly how the waitpid* 
testcases
are implemented.
