This might be an indication of the issue with the toolchains you use,
in particular, with the linker or csu.  The default selection for the signal
is based on the note osver, linked into the binary from crt1.o. Either
linker omits the note, or wrong crt1 is used.

You did not specified anything about version of the FreeBSD used, nor
the exact compiler invocations. Using the crystal ball, I see the
r244600 for HEAD and r244904 for stable/9, if you use --gc-sections
flags. This is more or less consistent with what you reported, since
gcc from ports uses binutils from ports, which have newer ld with
bugfix already applied.
