No. The behavior was well-defined on Linux until Drepper broke it.

The BSD behavior is totally useless, since it can not be assumed.
Prior to the screw-up, signal() was useful. Old code worked, and
now it doesn't. If BSD jumped off a cliff, would you jump too?
Drepper claims that kernel developers will randomly break stuff
by changing the kernel interface in incompatible ways. Look at
how little respect he has for backwards compatibility. He is being
a hypocrite. Since his FPU idiocy slows down Linux, it would be
best to start a patch collection for proper Linux support.
(I told everyone these problems would happen...)
