You're not doing anything wrong.  The relevant definitions in
sys/signal.h were originally only available for RTEMS.  I just
made them availbale for all platforms.  The problem was that the
orignal code missed to include sys/cdefs.h, which is required to
get the macros guarding the definitions.  I fixed that in the git
repo.

I also made a bigger change to code setting up the alternate stack when
calling the signal handler function.  It turned out that my code moving
to the new stack missed to safe all potentially clobbered volatile
registers on both platforms.

I'll upload new snapshots and 2.1.0-0.2 test releases shortly.


Thanks,
Corinna
