There might be.  The way I normally take care of these type of things
is to discover what header file is required for a function and make sure
it is included.

On a Unix system, one would do an
#include <signal.h>

to resolve this symbol.

However, this appears to be done properly in this particular source code
module.  If you can locate the signal.h header on your system, check it to
see if there is something peculiar keeping the declaration for signal()
from being generated.
