libraries should never set signal handlers.  Setting a signal handler
in a library implies that you've got a broken archicture.  Only
applications should set signal handlers.

Guile doesn't actually set the signal handler (or if it does, it's
installed temporarily and then reverted after the signal hits).
However, I suspect it's just using waitpid(2), which depends
on the default signal handler for SIGCHLD.

If you are depending on SIGCHLD handling, then I suspect you are doing
something wrong or your archicture is just broken.  Removing the
signal handler is always an option.
