I looked through the Unix98 docs and they stupidly standardized the
SysV behaviour for signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN).  So be it.

But this does not mean the nanosleep() function has to be changed
(once I agree with Linus, wow).  The wrapper you wrote should instead
go into the sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sleep.c file.
