Hmm, I've done it now and it wasn't that bad.  There seem to only be 3
signals that are specified as XSI extensions.

<https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/basedefs/signal.h.html>

Apart from this SIGCHLD extension, there are:

	SIGSYS		A	Bad system call.
	SIGVTALRM	T	Virtual timer expired.

And we document them normally, without saying anything about them being
XSI extensions.  So I guess it's just fine to not do it with SIGCHLD.

Nice!  :)


Cheers,
Alex
