From: Willy Tarreau w@1wt.eu

Ammar Faizi reported that our exit code handling is wrong. We truncate it to the lowest 8 bits but the syscall itself is expected to take a regular 32-bit signed integer, not an unsigned char. It's the kernel that later truncates it to the lowest 8 bits. The difference is visible in strace, where the program below used to show exit(255) instead of exit(-1):

int main(void) { return -1; }

This patch applies the fix to all archs. x86_64, i386, arm64, armv7 and mips were all tested and confirmed to work fine now. Risc-v was not tested but the change is trivial and exactly the same as for other archs.
