It's OK for me.

There are many GNU libc specific functions, they also needs
_GNU_SOURCE. I don't know autoconf in detail, so I can't decide
it should be needed to check strsignal().
BTW, autoconf has macro AC_GNU_SOURCE, programmer should use it?
- Macro: AC_GNU_SOURCE
If using the GNU C library, define `_GNU_SOURCE'. Allows the use
of some GNU functions. Should be called before any macros that
run the C compiler.
