Well, I haven't seen that one in a long time.  You can fix it by
upgrading your Development System to 2.2.1 (you probably have 2.1.3),
or a workaround is to extract the signal.o module:

     ar x /lib/Slibc.a signal.o

and include signal.o as the first module on you link line:

     cc signal.o other.o other2.o ...

If you are using medium or large model, extract from /lib/Mlibc.a
or /lib/Llibc.a.
