The failure may well be because of #595397 / #595403 : POSIX::sigaction
seems to be somehow broken on armel, and as a result libsys-sigaction-perl
(a dependency of libforks-perl) fails its own test suite.

As I said in #595397, one possible outcome is that we have to remove
libsys-sigaction-perl/armel and therefore also libforks-perl/armel,
indirectly solving this bug too :)

Nobuhiro: does the libsys-sigaction-perl test suite pass for you on sh4?
