Right, this would help.

From the package directory, you could try something like:

 find . \( -name '*.cdl' -exec grep CYGINT_ISO_SIGNAL_NUMBERS {} \; \) -exec ls \
 -ld {} \;

which produces:

      implements     CYGINT_ISO_SIGNAL_NUMBERS
  -rw-rw-r--    1 user  group      10116 Apr  9 15:48 \
  packages/compat/posix/current/cdl/posix.cdl
      requires        CYGINT_ISO_SIGNAL_NUMBERS
      default_value   { CYGINT_ISO_SIGNAL_NUMBERS != 0 && \
  -rw-rw-r--    1 user  group       4436 Mar  8 09:57 \
  packages/io/serial/current/cdl/termios.cdl
          cdl_interface CYGINT_ISO_SIGNAL_NUMBERS {
              requires      { 1 >= CYGINT_ISO_SIGNAL_NUMBERS }
  -rw-rw-r--    1 user  group      37273 Apr  9 15:50 \
  packages/isoinfra/current/cdl/isoinfra.cdl
      implements    CYGINT_ISO_SIGNAL_NUMBERS
  -rw-rw-r--    1 user  group      11273 Mar  8 09:57 \
  packages/language/c/libc/signals/current/cdl/signals.cdl

and then look in ecos.ecc to see which *active* package/component implements
CYGINT_ISO_SIGNAL_NUMBERS.
