:I've tested this on SunOS 4.1.3. Could folks with other systems check it
:out and let me know if it prints a reasonable list of possible symbols. If
:this fails, I'll fall back on a big list of signal names.

On AIX 3.2.5 (XLC compiler), the script produced a slightly different list of
signals than configure did when I compiled perl. Of interest (maybe):

AIO, CLD, GRANT, IOINT, IOT, LOST, MAX, PTY, RETRACT, SAK, and SOUND were the
additions. The script did not find ZERO, unlike configure.

On Linux 1.2.11 (ELF) (GCC), the script found ABRT, CLD, IO, and POLL. It
didn't miss any that configure had found.

Thanks for the feedback.

Additions are O.K. There will then be a compiled test which does
something like
#include <signal.h>
#ifdef SIGAIO
printf("AIO %d\n", SIGAIO);
#endif

to check which ones are really defined with the current compiler/ccflags/etc.

ZERO is automatically added by Configure.

Note the Linux ELF or a.out isn't the crucial factor for signals. It's
how far up in the 1.3.x tree you are. The signal definitions keep
shifting every now and then.
