linux-user wants to trap all signals in case they are related to the
guest. This however results in less than helpful core dumps when the
error is internal to QEMU. We can detect when an assert failure is in
progress by examining __glib_assert_msg and fall through to
cpu_abort() which will pretty print something before restoring the
default SIGABRT behaviour and dumping core.
