I don't know what g_thread_pool does, but if it messes with the signal
mask, then it should just not do that, at elast not for signals you register
with libev.

libev (just like any other event loop) requires you to not touch resources
it manages, which includes SIGCHLD and any signal handler you install via it.

If something else in your program messes with those signals in any way, then
either that part is broken, or the part that installs the signal watcher in
libev.

These resources are simply nto sharable, as much as we'd like them to be.
Only one can manage it, which is why libev allows you to multiplex all
those signals.
