Comment(by pcpa):

 I need to make more complete tests, but the idea is to use as much as
 possible from system packages in my Mandriva sagemath rpm. The patch
 allows sage to load the ecl/maxima module and at least the (few) doctests
 I run did work correctly. Patch probably can be made a one liner by just
 not restoring handlers after cl_boot call, and for more clarity, use
 proper signal names, instead of numeric value.

 If truly required, I may adapt the sagemath rpm package to use an
 alternate ecl, Bohem GC, and possibly maxima build, but at first I am
 trying to avoid it.

 This should at least help in knowing beforehand issues that will happen in
 the future if sage is linked to other binaries, multi thread or not, that
 uses Bohem GC, or do their own signal management.
