We really should not apply any special workarounds in our FreeBSD code
base for third-party libraries like GNU Pth. I've personally still not
investigated on this issue of the GNU Pth port, but I'm sure the problem
_can_ be solved from within the ports tree or even in my own upstream
GNU Pth code base. We at least certainly don't need any hacks in the
FreeBSD <signal.h>. I recommend to backout this change. I will check the
GNU Pth ports issue we have here and perhaps even apply a workaround
upstream...
