    the situation by reading static storage in a signal handler, which

+     - We don't implement SA_NOCLDSTOP or SA_NOCLDWAIT, because SIGCHLD

+     - We don't implement SA_ONSTACK, because sigaltstack() is not present.
+     - We ignore SA_RESTART, because blocking Win32 calls are not interrupted
+       anyway when an asynchronous signal occurs, and the MSVCRT runtime
+       never sets errno to EINTR.

    POSIX states that an application should not mix signal() and
    sigaction().  We support the use of signal() within the gnulib
