 In PR kern/181439, you wrote:
 > [<sys/wait.h> does not define siginfo_t]
 
 POSIX says that <sys/wait.h> shall define siginfo_t and may make visible
 all symbols from <signal.h>.
 
 This means that POSIX requires the application to #include <signal.h>
 explicitly if it wants to use the constants like SIGCHLD and CLD_EXITED.
 Therefore, I expect most applications to need an explicit #include
 <signal.h> anyway.
 
 To minimize namespace pollution, it would be best to create a new header
 that defines siginfo_t and include it from <signal.h> and <sys/wait.h>,
 or to duplicate the definition.
 
 Adding the #include to <sys/wait.h> would be simpler. If this is the way
 it should work, then it would be best to try to change POSIX to allow
 only this.
