zig supports RPL for augmentation strings, and finds zRS (though it
scans RS). It panics on S. Presumably the parser should just ignore
this at this stage. (found [this description][1], and a bit of code [here][2]
and [there][3]).

> The character ‘S’ in the augmentation string means that this CIE
> represents a stack frame for the invocation of a signal
> handler. When unwinding the stack, signal stack frames are handled
> slightly differently: the instruction pointer is assumed to be
> before the next instruction to execute rather than after it.
