We don't have that platform, so we can't duplicate the problem (our
Red Hat Linux system doesn't even have "c89").

Then use "c89".   :-)

According to the UNIX standard, the struction "sigaction" is defined in
the header-file <signal.h>, which is included by "misc/alrm.h".  It
might be that this definition isn't made unless the _POSIX_C_SOURCE
feature test macro is defined.  Would you do me a favor and define that
macro at the top of header-file config/ldmconfig.h.in, re-execute the
configure script with "c89" as the compiler, and try rebuilding the
package?

Please let me know what you discover.
