An idea about another simple ptrace extension - to set a set of signals which
are not interesting to GDB, like what exists in the gdbserver protocol:
	info '(gdb)QPassSignals'
	`QPassSignals: SIGNAL [;SIGNAL]...'
	Each listed SIGNAL should be passed directly to the inferior process.
	Signals are numbered identically to continue packets and

which applies to 'nostop noprint pass' signals such as SIGCHLD by default.


Thanks,
Jan
