Oops.  I meant to comment on this as well.

I've actually already changed signal handling in my sandbox and I ended
up doing it in such a way that it doesn't necessarily have to break
dynamic loading.

At the very simplest, you could still call sigproc_init when dynamically
loading.  It just won't be deterministic when the process is ready to
receive signals.  But, then, this was the way cygwin B20.1 works anyway...
