The way to handle it is an autoconf macro (perhaps for AIX/xlc only)
that attempts to compile volatile sig_atomic_t. Possibly followed by
another attempt for plain sig_atomic_t to avoid false positives. Then
we can use the pre-processor to remove volatile. However I don't
really do autoconf, and I don't have access to AIX/xlc either.

I'm tempted simply to put a comment in the code telling AIX/xlc users
how to modify the code.
