I looked through the Unix98 docs and they stupidly standardized the
SysV behaviour for signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN). So be it.
But this does not mean the nanosleep() function has to be changed
(once I agree with Linus, wow). The wrapper you wrote should instead
go into the sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sleep.c file.
