 That's really weird... At some time (before netbsd-4) the binary
 layout of "struct sigaction" changed, because sigset_t was
 expanded to make room for more than 32 signals. There is a
 compatibility stub for old binaries, you'll get that if
 you don't include the header which redirects to the current
 version. In that case, a linker warning should be issued,
 recommending to include <signal.h>. Is that perhaps what
 happens here?
 
 best regards
