Not possible.  sigset_t is an unsigned long, thus we can only support
up to 64 signals.

A change to a bigger sigset_t is an ABI breakage and requires two
different entry points for all functions touching the sigset_t type, one
for the new definition of sigset_t, one for backward compatibility with
existing applications.  This *could* be part of 3.7, but I don't make
any promises.
