Hi,

I'm porting some code from x86 to mips(32) and noticed that in
include/asm-mips/siginfo.h differs from include/asm-i386/siginfo.h in the
order of elements of the sigchld structure.  Was this an oversight or a
design decision?  I would think that it would be desirable to be almost the
same as the x86 for userland ease of portability...

It's probably for compatibility with that other MIPS operating system -
IRIX.
