Jérémie is kindly trying to show you why you are mistaken.  When you say:

This is wrong.  Because OCaml does not call signal(2).  At all.  So there is no
"pandora box" to open, no "unreliable signal semantics" used.

          Sys.set_signal = sigaction(2)
                         ≠ signal(2)

(And sigprocmask(2) is irrelevant here: it is also part of the "reliable
semantics", but does something different from sigaction(2), as Jérémie told
you.)

You are not only rude but also completely missing the point here.
