This fix effectively blocks, in the main thread, the signals handled
by signalfd or the compatibility signal thread.

This way, such signals are received synchronously in the main thread
through sigfd_handler() instead of triggering the signal handler
directly, asynchronously.

Good catch. Probably remained unnoticed as most of us have signalfd
support on their boxes so that the window for async delivery was rather
small.

But please pull the now common pthread_sigmask out of the #ifdef.

Hi Jan,

Thanks for reviewing my patch.
