The important question is not just where that is, but where the code
that arranges for the SIGALRM to be sent is relative to that. It should
be after that code not before it basically.

No, any more than there is any way to change the kernel's signal
handling when you are running outside valgrind.

Valgrind is only doing exactly what the kernel would normally do - the
only difference is that your program is probably running more slowly
because it is running under valgrind.
