Unfortunately +#define _GNU_SOURCE causes test to hang, at least on glibc.
And I see for musl it is necessary to get sighandler_t.
Until you fix glibc with _GNU_SOURCE NACK.

But on glibc it also brought a warning, which means _GNU_SOURCE really switches
something on:

sigrelse01.c: In function ‘child’:

Also this is a very old test, which needs cleanup and rewrite to new LTP API
(e.g. remove old unixes, e.g. VAX and get test more reliable). I suppose
handling signals with LTP legacy API is broken.

nit: I would postpone this after conversion this to new LTP API.
Script already uses legacy definitions
#define TRUE 1
#define FALSE 0
and on a different place happily returns 0 or 1.
Mixing that with <stdbool.h> makes even more mess.

Kind regards,
Petr
