I think you forgot to remove config.cache before running configure and
configure used the cached place for signal.h, which was /dev/null.  Remove
config.cache and run configure again.  I really forgot to mention this.
While running configure, watch for the line:

checking where signal.h is located... /usr/include/sys/signal.h

If your configure finds something else, send me the output of configure and
the congig.log file.  In this case you can create the signames.h by hand using

gawk -f ./signames.awk < /usr/include/sys/signal.h > signames.h

Otherwise remove signames.h and do a make.
