OK, all those failures are signal 12 == SIGSYS == non-existent signal
call. Somebody must have made a change to libc which caused it to
start using a signal call that didn't exist in 4.0-RELEASE. So yes,
I suppose that the version number of libc should be bumped. Likewise
for libc_r, if it hasn't already been bumped for this release. What a
pain -- that means yet another compatxx distribution.
Whether the bump is still possible at this late date is a question for
the Release Engineer.
