Actually i have no idea, but i do have a yet unused script for signals names (that mirrors one for errors names that is in use for years. I will attach it. It is meant for the MUA i maintain (a future lib part of it) and does lots of things you surely do not need, as it is for C and C++ and creates mapping tables for by-name etc lookups, the signal documentation strings etc etc. You run it local to create the portable stuff (uses perl, and the MUA i maintain for creating hash values), and then during compile time. This compile_time() function is surely what you want, it requires some POSIX tools (awk, sort, rm) and a C compiler ($CC), actually only the preprocessing stage (much easier to let the compiler to the C preprocessor part), which' output is then parsed.
