On Android, the following calls generate a SIGSYS signal that is neither blocked by pthread_sigmask(SIG_BLOCK, {SIGSYS}) nor ignored after its handler is set to SIG_IGN:
On the other hand, signal(SIGSYS, lambda s, p: None) will catch the signal, but based on frame it receives (None), I suspect this is a coincidence. Also, the functions with parenthesized names in that list raise the equivalent of OSError(0, "Error", "%s"%args[0]).

Most of these functions have now been disabled at build time by #115955. The only missing one is
socket.sethostname, which I didn't notice because it isn't available until API level 23, and we're building against level 21. I'll fix that in #116426.
