Could be part of "DCE threads" (= "draft 4"), from last time I googled
this topic when gaur blew up.

Huh, that is surprising. Apparently it has "draft 6" and also final,
depending on a macro:

https://illumos.org/man/2/sigwait
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E36784_01/html/E36872/sigwait-2.html

Here's a first swing at a configure check. Could probably be improved
a bit, as I haven't yet tried to share the check with thread_test.c (I
was going to ask if it might be entirely removable since draft 4
systems like gaur surely can't compile the rest of thread_test.c due
to other differences we know about, but now that I know that there are
also draft 6 systems out there...). Note also the errno change, which
I (ironically) did the pre-standard way by mistake.
