The current implementation of pthread_sigmask violates POSIX:

extern "C" int
pthread_sigmask (int operation, const sigset_t *set, sigset_t *old_set)
{
  return handle_sigprocmask (operation, set, old_set, _my_tls.sigmask);
}

POSIX requires that sigprocmask returns -1 and sets errno on failure,
but that pthread_sigmask returns a positive error value on failure (and
for QoI leaves errno untouched).
