Re: sigaction, SA_SIGINFO, and SIG_IGN

[Bruno Haible]

The fact that the next POSIX calls siginterrupt 'obsolescent' is something that
cannot be fixed by gnulib; therefore IMO it belongs outside the list of things
that gnulib does not fix.

Also, siginterrupt is related to SA_RESTART, not SA_NODEFER.
