signal()/sigaction()/.... do not accept more than NSIG

/bin/getconf RTSIG_MAX always returns 8 on Solaris. getconf does not
call sysconf() for this property.
Please first verify that there is a real need for more RT signals before
looking for a solution.
Linux offers 32 RT signals and the only need I see is to support 32 for
Linux compatibility.
