At least on the i386, <machine/trap.h> defines the signal codes that
are passed to userlevel for SIBGUS, SIGILL, SIGSEGV, SIGTRAP, and some
cases of SIGFPE.

As an issue of namespace pollution, the right thing to do would
probably be to provide the SUSv2-specified code macros (ILL_*, FPE_*,
SEGV_*, etc), wrapped in the usual XOPEN ifdefs. As in issue of
compatibility, we may want to keep the old names around, somewhere....
