Probably Linux. For some reason, the configure script prefers
"sigset()" to "sigaction()", even on platforms - such as most if not all
Linux distributions - which have both. (There's a comment, in fact,
that says "prefer sigset() to sigaction()".)
At least on one Linux distribution here, it appears you have to define
__USE_UNIX98 to get "sigset()" declared.
Can anybody think of a compelling reason to prefer "sigset()" to
"sigaction()" on platforms that have both? If not, we should probably
just change the configure script *not* to prefer sigaction.
