And also there is a break down after the long list of cases.


So it looks like:

* if _SC_SIGRT_MIN is defined we have a POSIX compilant system
  and we skip realtime signals in the if at line 125.

* Otherwise if system is not POSIX compilant but __SIGRTMIN and
  __SIGRTMAX is defined, we skip them in the hack in the switch()

  this is possibly workaround for old glibc without _SC_SIGRT_MIN
  support
