hello dannf,
please review belows diff between klibc 1.5.12-1 and 1.5.12-2,
added backport of upstream fix so that klibc exports signal(2)
+ corrected watch file.
thanks

+Subject: [PATCH] klibc: Default signal(3) to bsd_signal(3)
+
+The Linux universe, at least, seems to have settled on BSD semantics
+for signal(3) -- even though signal(2) implements SysV semantics.
+POSIX has gone from mandating SysV semantics to permitting either.
