Actually I did not notice it. How is it related mysignal being part of a
test in configure and the error I am seeing?

I am in the same situation as Andreas: if I
1) undefine HAVE_DEV_PTMX and
2) include signal.h
I can complete the compilation. (Although I am not able to test the
resulting binary at the moment, because on the virtual machine I set up
for testing, the X server is not able to start).

My goal is to have the compilation working without manual intervention
on as many Debian supported architectures as possible, so: I can accept
the point 2 above (as it is working in the general case), but I cannot
accept the point 1 (because I do not understand what I am tweaking and
why. Moreover the change is probably affecting other architectures).

Bests,
