It'd be good to have an intro comment like this in the signal.exp
file itself.  Actually, it'd be good to add some general comments in
the .exp file explaining what the test is doing: both an overview,
and on the individual test parts.  From the quick skim I did, I
couldn't really figure out what is the test doing.

Call "unsupported" before returning, perhaps?

Avoid using ()s at end of test message to differentiate tests:

https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/GDBTestcaseCookbook#Do_not_use_.22tail_parentheses.22_on_test_messages

Suggest, e.g.:

    "continue to kill, 1st time"
    "continue to kill, 2nd time"

I found this comment quite confusing, until I realized you were
talking about the previous line.

And this too.  How about just moving the comments to just before
each of the corresponding gdb_test calls?

Might be nice to give this gdb_assert a more friendly
test message.

Looks like this is putting addresses in the test messages, which
is not stable.

Like above.

Why "20" here?

I noticed several places could use $decimal.
