+ order to make it report events for any of the cloned processes
+ (and leave it out for the initial process). However, if a cloned
+ process has exited the exit status is only reported if the
+ __WCLONE flag is absent. Linux 2.4 has a __WALL flag, but we
+ cannot use it since GDB must work on older systems too.
- When a traced, cloned process exits and is waited for by the
debugger, the kernel reassigns it to the origional parent and

+/* Since we cannot wait (in lin_lwp_wait) for the initial process and
+ any cloned processes with a single call to waitpid, we have to use
+ use the WNOHANG flag and call waitpid in a loop. To optimize
+ things a bit we use `sigsuspend' to wake us up when a process has
+ something to report (it will send us a SIGCHLD if it has). To make
+ this work we have to juggle with the signal mask. We save the
+ origional signal mask such that we can restore it before creating a
+ new process in order to avoid blocking certain signals in the
+ inferior. We then block SIGCHLD during the waitpid/sigsuspend
