--- Comment #2 from Tom de Vries <vries at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
My understanding of what happens is as follows:

Glibc internally defines SIGCANCEL:
...
./sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/internal-signals.h:#define SIGCANCEL       __SIGRTMIN
...
which get the value 32:
...
./bits/signum-arch.h:#define __SIGRTMIN 32
...

During the test, the signal arrives at gdb.

GDB has the following behaviour:
...
$ gdb -batch -ex "info handle"
Signal        Stop      Print   Pass to program Description
   ...
SIGCANCEL     No        No      Yes             LWP internal signal
SIG32         Yes       Yes     Yes             Real-time event 32
...

In gdb_signal_from_host we translate the signal with value 32 into a gdb
signal.  There is a bit:
...
#if defined (SIGCANCEL)   
  if (hostsig == SIGCANCEL)
    return GDB_SIGNAL_CANCEL;
#endif
...
but that is not actived, because SIGCANCEL is not defined (because it's an
glibc-internal signal).

This gets actived instead:
...
      else if (hostsig == 32)
        return GDB_SIGNAL_REALTIME_32;
...

So, instead of the appropriate Stop=No behaviour of SIGCANCEL, we have the
Stop=Yes behaviour of SIG32, and the test-case FAILs.
