Indeed.  Grepping further in glibc finds sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aio_sigqueue.c:

        /* We must pass the information about the data in a siginfo_t
           value.  */
        info.si_signo = timer->event.sigev_signo;
        info.si_code = SI_TIMER;
        info.si_pid = timer->creator_pid;
        info.si_uid = getuid ();
        info.si_value = timer->event.sigev_value;

        INLINE_SYSCALL (rt_sigqueueinfo, 3, info.si_pid, info.si_signo, &info);

and sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/gai_sigqueue.c:

  /* We must pass the information about the data in a siginfo_t value.  */
  info.si_signo = sig;
  info.si_code = SI_ASYNCNL;
  info.si_pid = caller_pid;
  info.si_uid = __getuid ();
  info.si_value = val;

  return INLINE_SYSCALL (rt_sigqueueinfo, 3, info.si_pid,
                         sig, __ptrvalue (&info));

where SI_ASYNCNL is -60, which the kernel doesn't know about.

Updated patch coming in a minute.

Thanks,
  Roland
