#67859 is doing more or less the same thing, but for x86_64 as a
whole. Could you maybe replace `target-x32` by `target-x86`?

Maybe we should come up with a list of architectures that need that kind
of fix in libsigsegv and patch all the src/fault-linux-xxx-old-h?

The rest of the series seems fine to me.

Thanks,

Mathieu
