glibc for instance defines __WEXITSTATUS in only one location: bits/waitstatus.h
and it does not special case it per architecture, so at this point I'd
have to say we have to look somewhere else for why this is happening.

The commmit which caused this is issuing a correct error code down the
pipeline, nothing more. I'll make taking a look at this a priority right
now. Let us see what I come up with today.
