As noted on #musl, I don't think this is even valid as a static
assertion, because POSIX imposes no requirement that these macros
produce constant expressions. As far as I can tell they could be
implemented as function calls.

This seems correct -- POSIX defines WIFSIGNALED only for when the
process terminated with a signal, which is of course mutually
exclusive with being stopped.

I'll have to look into whether 0x7f is a value that can actually be
seen. If so, one or both of the musl macros has a bug. If not, this
seems like a spurious failure based on incorrect assumptions in
boost. I'll follow up after doing some more research if nobody else
gets to it first.
