Summary0000044: Obsolete HAVE_SIGNAL_H symbol
DescriptionThe <signal.h> header file is part of the standard C89 headers [1]
and on current systems can be included unconditionally.

Since file requires at least C89 or greater, the HAVE_SIGNAL_H symbol
defined by Autoconf in configure.ac [2] can be ommitted and simplifed.

Subject: [PATCH] Remove HAVE_SIGNAL_H

The `<signal.h>` header file is part of the standard C89 headers [1]
and on current systems can be included unconditionally.

Since file requires at least C89 or greater, the `HAVE_SIGNAL_H` symbol
defined by Autoconf in configure.ac [2] can be ommitted and simplifed.
