Description

The arguments to psiginfo() are different on illumos platforms such as OmniOS. This results in a build error:

  CXXLD    CompileParseRules
./CompileParseRules
  CXX      ParseRules.lo
  CCLD     mkdfa
signals.cc: In function 'void signal_format_siginfo(int, siginfo_t*, const char*)':
signals.cc:162:21: error: invalid conversion from 'const char*' to 'char*' [-fpermissive]
   psiginfo(info, msg);
                     ^
In file included from ink_platform.h:104:0,
                 from libts.h:45,
                 from signals.cc:29:
/usr/include/siginfo.h:53:13: error:   initializing argument 2 of 'void psiginfo(siginfo_t*, char*)' [-fpermissive]
 extern void psiginfo(siginfo_t *, char *);
             ^
gmake[3]: *** [signals.lo] Error 1

This happens with 5.2.1 as well as 5.3.0-rc2.
