Update

Tried finding the Release Notes, but failed.

Removed the lines for i386 cflags. Used qemu to test if it works in 11.2-Stable-i386. Built fine and ran ls, echo, cat and didn't run into any errors
Comment 1 Bryan Drewery freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-09-13 20:54:53 UTC 
Actually the CFLAGS is a symptom but not exactly limited to i386.
NSIG is defined as 32 in /usr/include/sys/signal.h.
In dash it creates an array 2 times the size of NSIG:
    char *signal_names[2 * NSIG + 3];
But later it tries to reference index SIGRTMAX (defined as 126) in
work/dash-0.5.10.2/src/mksignames.c:
    #if defined (SIGRTMAX)
      rtmax = SIGRTMAX;
      signal_names[rtmax] = "RTMAX";
    #endif
So this is causing an out-of-bounds write. It would be a problem
on amd64 and i386. It probably only manifested as a *crash* on i386
though.
Redefining NSIG to be larger would fix the problem but I'm going to
just keep UNUSABLE_RT_SIGNALS defined for now to not enable the RT
signal handling.

Log:
  - Update to 0.5.10.2 [1]
  - Update comment on the real problem with UNUSABLE_RT_SIGNALS.  This is
    avoiding a buffer overflow due to NSIG*2 being far smaller than
    SIGRTMAX.
