New configure option to allow caller to block signals.
routine and add address-space argument. This is needed because on
PPC64, a the function-name symbol refers to a function descriptor
(unlike, for example, on ia64, where the @fptr() operator is needed to
refer to a function descriptor). Thus, in order to look up the name
of a function, we need to dereference the function descriptor. To
make matters more "interesting", the function descriptors are normally
resolved by the dynamic linker, so we can't get their values from the
ELF file. Instead, we have to read them from the running image, hence
the need for the address-space argument.
