Hrmz.. FP state is aligned on a 64 byte boundary, the signal frame (separately)
on a 16 byte-sizeof(long) boundary.  But it looks like that for 32 and 64 bit
rt_sigreturn this means no padding :-/

It looks like I'll have to put the canary beyond the fp state. :-(
I had hoped to avoid pointer arithmetic. :-/
