This is because on Linux, sa_handler is a macro that expands into an
access of a named member of a named union, whereas on cygwin, sa_handler
is a directly named member of an anonymous union.  Is this a gcc bug, or
should we be changing cygwin/signal.h to follow Linux' lead of using
macros to access named unions to allow source compatibility, since gcc
falls flat at performing named initialization of a member of gcc's
extension of an anonymous union?
