Hmm, I'm not seeing this particular symptom you mention below.

However, I did see failures on old kernels in 31-bit compat mode only;
it turned out these were caused by a kernel bug that is exposed by my
GDB change.

When the kernel sets up the registers for calling a signal handler,
it is supposed to place the return address including the addressing
mode bit into register %r14.  This does in fact happen in native
31-bit mode.  However, in 31-bit compat mode under a 64-bit kernel,
the addressing mode bit was not set.  This has been fixed at least
for regular signal handlers in current git (note that RT signals
are still broken).

Bye,
Ulrich
