Why should this be binary incompatible? The number of real time signals is _dynamic_, see getconf RTSIG_MAX. The value of RTSIG_MAX is defined as _tunable_ and may vary between installations of the same operating system. I sounds you don't know how POSIX real time signals work.
FYI I filed the RFE out of frustration with the POSIX real time signal implementation in Solaris. Roland Mainz developed a patch at my behest which sets the number of real time signals through /etc/system between 8 and 64 in 2^m intervals, using a default of 64 with _NO_ ill effects.
