Subject: [PATCH-0.9.33] MIPS: set _NSIG to 128, not 129. This matches glibc.
Prompted by lkml discussion of a MIPS bug where sending
signal 128 was found to be able to crash the machine :/

+/* MIPS is special by having 128 signals.
+ * All (?) other architectures have at most 64 signals.
+ * Having 128 signals is problematic because signal nos are 1-based
+ * and last signal number is then 128.
+ * This plays havoc with WIFSIGNALED and WCOREDUMP in waitpid status word,
+ * when process dies from signal 128.
+ * Linux kernel 3.9 accepts signal 128, with awful results :/
+ * It is being fixed.
+ *
+ * glibc (accidentally?) papers over this issue by declaring _NSIG to be 128,
+ * not 129 (despite claiming that _NSIG is "biggest signal number + 1"
+ * in the comment above that definition). We follow suit.
+ * Note that this results in __SIGRTMAX == 127. It is intended.
