Ok, I will move it.

As I wrote elsewhere:  You'll have to help me understand what the 
difference in meaning between ucontext_t.uc_sigmask and 
ucontext_t.uc_mcontext.oldmask is.

I don't see how the value of _my_tls.sigmask has any meaning at that 
point in the code.

Sure, but can we deal with that as a separate patch?
