This seems to work.  Thanks!

One question: It seems that SIGEV_SIGNAL and friends are defined as macros on 
Linux (or at least on the one Linux distribution I looked at), but on Cygwin 
they're only enum constants.  And emacs expects them to be defined as macros. 
Would something like the following be reasonable for the sake of compatibility?
