RETSIGTYPE

{
  if (_gst_sem_int_vec[sig].data)
    {
      if (IS_CLASS (_gst_sem_int_vec[sig].data, _gst_semaphore_class))

    }

  _gst_set_signal_handler (sig, SIG_DFL);
  _gst_wakeup ();

So, should we uncondtionally set it to SIG_IGN? Or should we only
do this for signals that would lead to termination?
