This, of course, is the set of signals required for any implementation
of C, regardless of platform.

I was under the impression that gnulib, or at least parts of it, was
only really intended to be portable to Unix-like systems. But then,
support for SIGALRM is required/expected for such.

Is there a general guideline for what constitutes "Gnulib's supported
platforms"?
