Not possible. sigset_t is an unsigned long, thus we can only support up to 64 signals. A change to a bigger sigset_t is an ABI breakage and requires two different entry points for all functions touching the sigset_t type, one for the new definition of sigset_t, one for backward compatibility with existing applications. This *could* be part of 3.7, but I don't make any promises.
