The fact that the macro exists doesn't mean it works. Most Linux kernels don't support SA_NOCLDWAIT, even though the symbol may be defined in the headers. I don't have the Posix standard, but at least according to the single Unix spec using SIG_IGN is just as standard as SA_NOCLDWAIT, and a quick grep of the FreeBSD sources seems to indicate that it should work.
