It seemed to me (after Googling the issue for a few minutes) before
implementing the getaddrinfo_a stuff that getting signal delivery to
work across all architectures would be challenging.  If I was wrong
about that, then we should perhaps look into doing this with signals.

(Remember, we're going to drop the actual glibc getaddrinfo_a usage and
use a clone from gnulib that's going to work on all platforms...)

I haven't looked into that.
