Sure, that's easy enough.  Gnulib already has a module to do that.
Revised patch attached (most of the new stuff is just code
copied from Gnulib).  As a bonus, this fixes signal-process to
handle several signal names that it currently doesn't support,
such as those of the real-time signals.

I'd rather use the Autoconf style, which is to test for individual
features rather than test for operating systems, as that tends to
make maintenance easier when operating systems or the emulations
mutate.
