Didn't know about that, very handy.

Sadly, the build fails with:

In file included from /usr/share/mingw-w64/include/signal.h:10:0,
                 from ./signal.h:52,

Not sure why pthread_sigmask appears here. I removed pthread module from the 
modules list, but it doesn't make a difference.

Line 593/594 from lib/signal.h:
_GL_FUNCDECL_SYS (pthread_sigmask, int,
                  (int how, const sigset_t *new_mask, sigset_t *old_mask));

gnulib is pretty up-to-date here (at 07a187be7).

Any idea ?
