Testing against two signals binaries I see a 4-7% failure rate against the
new binary versus the original pre-toolchain change one. That's not to
say the binary is broken - it could be a subtle change that exacerbated
our existing poor signals support. 

  https://transfer.sh/xA2ejk/signals.old (pre-toolchain change)
  https://transfer.sh/vSsn5s/signals

something in the CI ensures it fails much more reliably as U can't get
it to pass on a retry.

I've tested against master and rth/tgt-next (742f07628c0)
