Sure. But what point of "process startup" is that about? Are we sure
that no pthread was created so it's really only to be sent to the
process, for instance?

What is the purpose of the raise, just to abort the process, or possibly
to run a signal handler (but then setup by what)?

We would probably just need to rename the current
sysdeps/mach/hurd/kill.c implementation to a __kill_direct that does not
uses __hurd_fail, and make kill.c just call it and use __hurd_fail.
