Yup.

It's in include/allegro/platform/alunixac.hin, selected with `configure'
on traditional Unix.

    /* Define as the return type of signal handlers (`int' or `void'). */
    #undef RETSIGTYPE

But, you probably don't want usigalrm.c anyway.  Instead you should be
using uthreads.c.  Probably you didn't define HAVE_LIBPTHREAD somewhere.
