That's why implementing SA_SIGINFO flag in sigaction is the best
solution. If you'll be able to provide such a patch, it'll
certainly be included in official sources, thus benefiting everyone.

I suppose that even implementing setting at least _some_ fields in
siginfo_t structure, and leaving others uninitialized is better than
current situation. So, even if this patch implements only si_addr, i
believe it'll be gratefully accepted.
