-@c !!! not true now about _BSD_SOURCE
 When you don't specify with @code{sigaction} or @code{siginterrupt} what
 a particular handler should do, it uses a default choice.  The default
-choice in @theglibc{} depends on the feature test macros you have
-defined.  If you define @code{_BSD_SOURCE} or @code{_GNU_SOURCE} before
-calling @code{signal}, the default is to resume primitives; otherwise,
-the default is to make them fail with @code{EINTR}.  (The library
-contains alternate versions of the @code{signal} function, and the
-feature test macros determine which one you really call.)  @xref{Feature
-Test Macros}.
