There are a number of places in setup.h where HAVE_ALARM is set (and unset)
depending on the platform. It looks like it's set for just about all
platforms by default then unset for a few select ones. I don't know why
this approach was taken except if the current signal handler alarm approach
doesn't work on those platforms.
