Currently, it we call a not white listed system call, we get killed
immediately without reporting any error. It would be far more useful,
if we can at least shout something on stderr just before dying, so
users know it is because of sandbox, not just random quit.

I think this is going to be better solved in the kernel. I have a kernel patch sitting out there at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/7/313
Any public support of this patch could be useful to help get it in.

Something is definitely needed to learn the syscall that is killing QEMU. But I don't think the signal handler approach is going to work. We tried that and ran into too many situations where signals were being blocked by libraries (spice is one example). And we didn't want to get in the business of patching third party libraries to allow SIGSYS.
