[Bug libc/5431] New: Duplicate names in /usr/include/signal.h and /usr/include/sys/select.h

[rkies at cpan dot org]

Not certain if this is a bug or why cpp doesn't report it, but:

/usr/include/signal.h has: #define sigmask(sig) __sigmask(sig)

/usr/include/sys/select.h has: 

extern int pselect (int __nfds, fd_set *__restrict __readfds,
                    fd_set *__restrict __writefds,
                    fd_set *__restrict __exceptfds,
                    const struct timespec *__restrict __timeout,
                    const __sigset_t *__restrict __sigmask);    <========

ISTM that cpp should issue at  least a warning of a redefinition of the 
symbol.

[Bug libc/5431] Duplicate names in /usr/include/signal.h and /usr/include/sys/select.h

No, there is no problem and no warning should be issued.  The parameter
declaration doesn't apply to the macro definition since the macro expects
parameters.
