Yes, but we already rely on it elsewhere (like t0005), and the idea of
test_match_signal is that it would convert from "standard" numbers to
something platform specific. Though aside from Windows (where the signal
number is sometimes lost entirely) we've never had to actually do such
conversion so far; "15" really is standard.
If your primary concern, though, is the trace2 output and not the exit
code of the program, then it may not be worth worrying too much about.
