Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
+@item
+@code{sigset_t} is only declared in <sys/types.h> on some platforms:
+mingw.
+
+@item
+@code{struct sigaction} and @code{siginfo_t} are missing on some
+platforms:
+mingw.

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
+@item
+@code{struct sigaction} lacks the @code{sa_sigaction} member on some
+platforms; this can also be detected by whether @code{SA_SIGINFO} is defined:
+Interix 3.5.
