[JDK-8283326](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8283326) reworked the SafeFetch implementation and, on most platforms, switched to static assembly.

On arm (32-bit), this change led to strange crashes ([JDK-8284997](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8284997)). These problems are time consuming to analyze (among other things they only occur when building natively on a Rasberry Pi with one particular Docker setup).

As a temporary workaround I'd like to switch SafeFetch to the sigjmp method for arm, until I find time to analyze these problems in more detail.
