[vlc-devel] [PATCH v3 07/19] compat: Add sigwait dummy for NaCl

From: Julian Scheel <julian at jusst.de>

Implement a sigwait dummy for NaCl, which relies on:
- NaCl does never send SIGPIPE to to apps (see
https://codereview.chromium.org/288063004/)
- VLC uses sigwait exclusively to wait for SIGPIPE

If sigwait is asked to wait for anything else than SIGPIPE it will run
into an assertion failure, so that breakage would not be silent.
