        Signal blocks old versions of their software
  from connecting  to the network.  I  had to figure
  out  the binary  patching thing  because the  last
  15.0  glibc-compatible version  I had  was finally
  blocked from connecting to the Signal network.

        If patching the rpath to use an isolated new
  glibc-opt without migrating the whole OS is not an
  acceptable solution for  the SlackBuilds.org repo,
  then removing the Signal  SlackBuild is the option
  that makes sense, in my opinion.  People who still
  want to use Signal will  have to install it from a
  different 3rd party.  If that happens, I might end
  up packaging the patched  version myself, and then
  redistribute it on my site for others to use.

  Thank you all for your meticulous work,
    pretty active here recently :)
