Function sigvec removed in glibc 2.21

Function sigvec removed in glibc 2.21

[Carlos O'Donell]

Michael,

We should update man3/sigvec.3 to indicate it can no longer be used
on Linux with glibc 2.21. The sigvec function was removed in glibc 2.21.

Cheers,
Carlos.

Thanks for the heads-up. I already committed the following a while back:

Okay?

Cheers,

Michael
