Hi,
maybe this helps, untested.

From man sigpause:

   Linux notes
       On Linux, this routine is a system call only on the Sparc (sparc64) architecture.


       glibc  uses the BSD version if the _BSD_SOURCE feature test macro is defined and none of _POSIX_SOURCE, _POSIX_C_SOURCE, _XOPEN_SOURCE, _GNU_SOURCE, or _SVID_SOURCE is defined.  Otherwise, the System V version is used, and
       feature test macros must be defined as follows to obtain the declaration:


       •  Since glibc 2.26: _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500


       •  glibc 2.25 and earlier: _XOPEN_SOURCE


       Since glibc 2.19, only the System V version is exposed by <signal.h>; applications that formerly used the BSD sigpause() should be amended to use sigsuspend(2).
