Looks good, but could you please add a changelog entry?
MIPS uclibc defines sa_flags as unsigned int instead of int, causing type mismatches. This adds conditional compilation to use the correct type (c_uint) for MIPS uclibc while maintaining compatibility with other platforms. Fixes signal handling on old uclibc systems (0.9.x series) commonly found on embedded MIPS devices.
