Hello
I am working on enabling the gnulib tools to work on z/OS. I would like to request a patch to avoid warnings when setting traps in the shell. In particular, z/OS issues a warning when a trap is set for signal 13 instead of SIGPIPE. My proposed patch is as follows, changing numbered signals to named signals. This may also be easier for developers to read that aren't 'signal experts'.
