That last part is nonsense.  I should have dug a little deeper first.
I'm trying to build with ECL_THREADS, and this code in
handle_signal_now() (unixint.d) appears to be the problem:

        case t_symbol:
		/*
		 * When we bind a handler to a signal, it may either
		 * be a function, a symbol denoting a function or
		 * a symbol denoting a condition.
		 */
		if (cl_find_class(2, signal_code, ECL_NIL) != ECL_NIL)
			cl_cerror(2, str_ignore_signal, signal_code);
#ifdef ECL_THREADS
		else if (!Null(process))
			_ecl_funcall3(signal_code, @':process', process);
#endif
		else
			_ecl_funcall1(signal_code);
                break;

So SI:WAIT-FOR-ALL-PROCESSES needs to accept a :process keyword
argument when ECL_THREADS is defined.
