The signature differs only with the constness of the third argument in
the header. (The constness in the function implementation is correct.)
It is implemented not only in glibc, but additionally in Solaris 11:
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E88353_01/html/E37843/pthread-sigqueue-3c.html
The corresponding system call was added in Linux 2.6.31, if it matters.
I have no comments (positive or negative) regarding the addition of this
call nor its implementation other than that the constness should be
fixed in the header.
Best,
