Rich Felker 551c1d7a57 fix crash in x32 sigsetjmp
the 64-bit push reads not only the 32-bit return address but also the
first 32 signal mask bits. if any were nonzero, the return address
obtained will be invalid.

at some point storage of the return address should probably be moved
to follow the saved mask so that there's plenty room and the same code
can be used on x32 and regular x86_64, but for now I want a fix that
does not risk breaking x86_64, and this simple re-zeroing works.

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
