This issue is related to the definition of __sigset_t (__sigset_t  act.sa_mask).   In the glibc source, __sigset_t is defined in multiple places:  
- bits/types/__sigset_t.h

- sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/types/__sigset_t.h (introduced after glibc 2.25)   
<img width="1059" height="487" alt="image01" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/54101f9b-3b1a-4943-83ee-6f6471c060a6" />


During compilation with Clang, the latter definition appears to be used, where __sigset_t is a struct, causing the printf("%X", act.sa_mask) to fail.

we can detect whether _SIGSET_NWORDS is defined and handle the printing differently based on that, ensuring correct handling of the struct type.
