Not true... from glibc 2.9 / gentoo-sources-2.6.30-r4:

#ifdef __i386__
/* Here we must cater to libcs that poke about in kernel headers.  */

struct sigaction {
        union {
          __sighandler_t _sa_handler;
          void (*_sa_sigaction)(int, struct siginfo *, void *);
        } _u;
        sigset_t sa_mask;
        unsigned long sa_flags;
        void (*sa_restorer)(void);
};

/* ... */

#else

struct sigaction {
        __sighandler_t sa_handler;
        unsigned long sa_flags;
        __sigrestore_t sa_restorer;
        sigset_t sa_mask;               /* mask last for extensibility */
};

#endif

What do the manpages say is required for rt_sigaction to function on
your machine? Mine just says:

SYNOPSIS
       #include <signal.h>

       int sigaction(int signum, const struct sigaction *act,
                     struct sigaction *oldact);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       sigaction(): _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 1 || _XOPEN_SOURCE || _POSIX_SOURCE

RT signals are all signals above SIGRTMIN (typically 32+, but not
always), up to SIGRTMAX (usually 64, but on mips it's 128). So... why
is setting the signal number to anywhere between SIGRTMIN and SIGRTMAX
unacceptable?
