Description

I build Midnight Commander 4.8.22 test suite on OpenIndiana? 2018.10 (illumos kernel) and the it fails with:

  CC       utilunix__my_system-fork_fail.o

The problem seems to be that on illumos we don't have the sighandler_t GNU extension in our signal.h.

Can it be implemented differently? Can it be removed from compilation on platforms not supporting this GNU extension so test can be run?

Thank you, Andrew for the changeset, with it I was able to compile the test suite. However, there are some failures, hence I filed http://midnight-commander.org/ticket/3972.
