sigaltstack.2: Note that specifying SS_ONSTACK in ss.ss_falgs decreases portability
...
In the Illumos source (which presumably mirrors its Solaris
ancestry), there is this check in the sigaltstack()
implementation:
if (ss.ss_flags & ~SS_DISABLE)
return (set_errno(EINVAL));
And in the FreeBSD source we find similar:
if ((ss->ss_flags & ~SS_DISABLE) != 0)
return (EINVAL);

MS_REMOUNT|MS_BIND affect all per-mount-point

uniquely, is both a per-mount-point flag *and* a
per-filesystem flag.
So the sections of per-mount-point flags and
MS_REMOUNT can usefully be clarified.

README: Update generally
...
* Reflect fact that project ships pages in sections 1-8.
* Resync documentation of the basic Makefile targets with what they
actually do at present. Slighly simplify discussion.
* Put the man page overlaps into a table.
+ Drop references to overlaps with the old a.out ld.so, long dead.
* Update reference to Announce file to use current naming convention.
+ Send people looking for copyright information there rather than
duplicating some of it here.
* Direct reader to the top-level homepage instead of more deeply to the
"Contributing" page.
* Reflow paragraphs to 72 columns.
