Unfortunately this doesn't help much.  It's pretty clear that either ARM
debug information is very limited, or GDB is problematic on ARM, or else
the core file is very corrupted: there's no way that all the values in
the argument lists to these functions are really 0/NULL.  Also, as you
point out, in no way does child_handler() (which is a signal handler)
ever call child_error().

In fact, if your config.h from GNU make has HAVE_PSELECT set (which I
would expect it would since this is Linux) there's no way the
child_handler() function should ever be invoked at all.
