Mmm, this is unsafe: if yet another signal arrives between the
setjmp return and locking ss, it will be processed instead of being
blocked.

I know from experience that sigwait is a pain to implement correctly,
especially with threads with global signals, since you're supposed to
either deliver the global signal to some thread which doesn't block it,
or wake a thread which is waiting for it in sigwait...
