It's not important on Win32.  On unix, we risk crashes if we don't have
that bit.  Now it's interesting that you show __sighandler_t old_action,
but the code has struct sigaction old_action.  It's also posix standard,
and I see nothing in autoconf about it.  Maybe somebody can dig up more
info on these things for *BSD.
