Dioscc produces a broken gzip binary

[Lukáš Zaoral]

Hello,
last few releases of dioscc produce a broken native binary of gzip 1.10, that crashes with a segmentation fault. The problematic part of gzip code can be reduced to the following example, that fails in the same manner.

In my opinion, the DiOS implementation of struct sigaction in signal.h is probably the cause of this problem. I'm using glibc 2.29.

Thanks.

#include <signal.h>
#include <stddef.h>

int main(void)
{
    struct sigaction act;
    sigaction(SIGINT, NULL, &act);
}

I forgot to mention, that the problem occurs only when gzip is compiled with -O0 or -O1 flags. However, the code snippet above fails regardless of level of optimisation.

Yes, you are right. We need to extend hostabi.pl to deal with the layout of struct sigaction. Which is going to be fun because of the union that glibc uses there.

Actually, the fix was easier than I expected and just made it into next.
