Perhaps the problem Hank encounters here implies that signal.s and catchsig.s
should actually be one source file.  I don't have the code here to confirm
this, but doesn't catchsig.s simply provide vectors signal?  The vectors
lead to a routine which builds a C stack frame so that a C routine can
function as an interupt processor.  This is what I remember --- PDP-11
Unix had a similar arrangement.

Enough babble from me. ;-)
