IMO it's the wrong fix: currently you have: // for testing on Win32, GCC thinks it is a unix platform // TODO: figure out how to tell it is really unix #elif defined(__unix) && !defined(__GNUC__) There are several things wrong with this: __unix need not be defined on POSIX conforming systems __unix may be defined on systems that don't support sigaction etc. almost all version of __GNUC__ do have sigaction support including cygwin. How about: #if defined(_POSIX_C_SOURCE) && defined(_POSIX_VERSION) && (_POSIX_VERSION >= 199506L) && !defined(_WIN32) which should be about right if I've understood the standard correctly.
