Well, it really simple here, just use http://www.rpmfind.net . And
using "libsigc-2.0.so.0" as a search pattern will give you an
answer: it is an "extra" for FC4 (libsigc++20-2.0.17-1.i386.rpm).

And here is the link at kernel.org:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/extras/4/i386/libsigc++-1.2.7-2.fc4.i386.rpm

PS. Seems that you have missed an "extra" category while searching. ;-)
