I had the same problem when compiling

 o plotutils-2.4.1 - http://www.gnu.org/software/plotutils/plotutils.html -
   ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/plotutils/

There was an undefined reference to signgam too.
After applying your suggestion to the offending file (see the patch below)
plotutils-2.4.1 compiles almost OOTB.
I had to manually comment out the following definitions in the config.h file:

#define PTHREAD_SUPPORT 1
#define X_THREAD_SUPPORT 1
#define HAVE_PTHREAD_H 1

configure set these variables but they cause problems during compilation.

plotutils-2.4.1 passes all the tests.

Also

 o pstoedit-3.21 - http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Network/1958/pstoedit/

which depends on plotutils compiles fine and works.
