alarm(3) bug?

[enh <enh%google.com@localhost>]

i was trying to replace bionic's hacked alarm.c with the current
NetBSD alarm.c, but noticed that you return -1 on error, unlike glibc
and bionic, and apparently contrary to POSIX:

"The alarm() function is always successful, and no return value is
reserved to indicate an error."
