As already mentioned in a comment in the bug report, I don't think it makes a lot of sense to try to construct a high level POSIX binding. It just does not fit very well. GLib and GLib based libraries should be used for higher level cross-platform bindings. > > I also don't really > > agree there are definitions for non-standard signals there.

Fortunately, we do not have to care about older code compatibility when writing new bindings.
