Sure, thanks very much.

This is where the signal names are defined on glibc-based systems:
,---- (libc)Standard Signals ----
| This section lists the names for various standard kinds of signals and
| describes what kind of event they mean. Each signal name is a macro
| which stands for a positive integer--the "signal number" for that kind
| of signal. Your programs should never make assumptions about the
| numeric code for a particular kind of signal, but rather refer to them
| always by the names defined here. This is because the number for a
| given kind of signal can vary from system to system, but the meanings of
| the names are standardized and fairly uniform.

| The signal names are defined in the header file `signal.h'.

I'm fairly certain that this is needed on all GNU variants (I get the
same failure on GNU/kFreeBSD, for example). However, GNUstep works on
other systems (*BSD, Solaris, etc.) so maybe there unistd.h is
sufficient (or not). If it causes problems on MacOS, then of course
include it conditionally.
Maybe someone more knowledgable will be able to comment.
