[fpc-devel] Catch a signal

Hi Linux fans,

I'd like to catch a signal sent to a Linux program.

Here: http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/oldlinux/signal.html I 
see: "Install signal handler (deprecated) ... This call has the same 
functionality as the *SigAction* call. "

So I tried to do this: 
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/oldlinux/sigaction.html

It does not compile, as the unit oldlinux is not compiled in the 
"normal" Lazarus svn installation.

So I tried to add the directory of oldlinux.pp to the project options 
(no problem).

This now asks for adding multiple more  directories with inc files (no 
problem either)

But finally the project gets linker errors, as "lineinfo" is not provided.

Trying to add this seemingly results in recompiling the complete rtl, 
which I of course don't want to do.

So: Hot to catch a signal ?
