The result is

   /usr/include/sigstack.h
   ... 5 more files ...
   /usr/include/signum.h

which is OK so far, but unfortunately /usr/include/sigstack.h contains a
line 

  #define SIGSTKSZ 8192

which causes configure to take /usr/include/sigstack.h as the result.

The test in configure:4024 is too weak. I guess it would be better to
test for a minimum number (e.g., 7) of "#define SIG..."s in each file.
This works for me:

   for SIGNAL_H in $sigfile_list
   do
     n=0
     test -f $SIGNAL_H && \
     grep '#[  ]*define[   ][  ]*SIG[0-9A-Z]*[     ]*[0-9][0-9]*'
$SIGNAL_H | \
     wc -l | read n dummy && [ $n -ge 7 ] && break
   done
