looks like a bug in the header files; SUSv2 says that
this should be defined in stdio.h...

but this one is stranger; as far as I can tell, SIGMAX is not
part of SUSv2 at all.  and what's worse, I cannot find any
suitable replacement.

does it work better if you just define _XOPEN_SOURCE, without any
specific value?  or maybe you should just add _GNU_SOURCE to make
it work on your box.  I promise to play with this on our Unix boxes,
but not today...
