  You're welcome :)

        I have some 6 devices for friends and family
  members that  needed their Signal updated,  thus I
  published the explanation on my site[1], and wrote
  a small rough shell script that installs the hack.
  Just scp your pre-built SlackBuilds Signal package
  and the script[2], then run it:

     sh slackware-signal-glibc-workaround.sh apply
