 I'm about to commit a patch that fixes #7672. Sadly, though, it causes
 these failures
 {{{
    driver/sigof02                     sigof02dmt [bad stderr] (normal)
    driver/sigof02                     sigof02dt [bad stderr] (normal)

    driver/sigof02                     sigof02t [bad exit code] (normal)
 }}}
 with errors like
 {{{

       Probable cause: bug in .hi-boot file, or inconsistent .hi file

         x = insert 0 "foo"

 Clearly there is only one bug here, and it's in the signature-handling
 code, which I do not fully understand.  Happily, it's Edward's territory,
 and he is also involved in #7672.  So I plan to mark these tests as broken
 on this ticket, and hope that Edward can adapt the signature stuff (which
 in any case is in-flight) to the new code.
