I think that we could work around that acceptably: since I don't
think that we need to save and restore the signal mask, we could
just use setjmp()/longjmp().

But the worse problem is that it looks like it doesn't support
SIGALRM at all.  Perhaps we'll have to disable the time limit on
Mingw until we have a reasonable substitute.
