By "HURD ABI" I just mean the fact that sigset_t is gratuitously 128
bytes rather than 8 bytes, because early glibc imagined uselessly
having 1024 signals like GNU HURD will someday do.
The point is that only the first 8 (or 16, on MIPS*) bytes of the
signal mask save area (__ss[]) are actually used for saving a signal
mask, and the rest is free for sigsetjmp to use for other purposes.

No, upon entry __ss[0] is uninitialized. __sigsetjmp_tail will store
the signal mask into it (and __ss[1], on 32-bit archs) before
returning to the caller, and on the second return (via siglongjmp)
will restore the signal mask from there.

Yes, that sounds right. Look what other archs do. The arm version is
very easy to read.
