Details:

I was trying to compile a enigma2 image and after upgrading binutil from 2.32
to 2.35 to fix missing include of <string>. I end up in undeclared
sys_siglist. Since this is deprecated I tried the newer version strsignal.
With this it was building through.

I prefered strsignal over sys_siglist. See patch of pipeline.c for if else
construct.

FYI build enigma2 image I did:
setup ubuntu via https://github.com/openatv/enigma2/blob/6.4/README.md

force use of gcc8 (not because of groff):
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-8 8

I updated binutil from 2.32 to 2.35 because of missing include of string.h

build commando for my machine, for distro open black hole:

MACHINE=vuduo2 DISTRO=openbh DISTRO_TYPE=release make image

here I was end up in undeclared sys_siglist in groff pipeline.c
