Subject: [PATCH] inline __fatal_signal_pending

__fatal_signal_pending inlines to one instruction on x86, probably two
instructions on other machines.  It takes two longer x86 instructions
just to call it and test its return value, not to mention the function
itself.

On my random x86_64 config, this saved 70 bytes of text (59 of those
being __fatal_signal_pending itself).
