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.
