Could you do these with the approach of the existing strsignal.c? We
generally use that kind of single-concatenated-string table to avoid
ballooning numbers of dynamic relocations (and writable, nonshareable
memory) in each process shared libc.so is present in.

The sigmap[] machinery (only needed on one or two weird archs IIRC)
could be made external but hidden in a common file, so that it's not
duplicated again here.

Being that the standard signal names are bounded in length by 6, a
simple 2D array may be a better approach than having code to iterate
the concatenated multi-string like strsignal.c has. At most you waste
around 64 bytes this way, which is probably smaller than code, and
surely faster.

I see there's a little more logic needed for the realtime signals than
what strsignal.c has. I haven't yet read the spec but assuming the
above matches, I don't see a significantly lighter or simpler way than
what you'd doing. snprintf can't fail assuming valid format string and
non-overflowing-INT_MAX output, so error checking for it is not
needed.
