First, the Compendium is not the official MiNT documentation.

Second, the Compendium has this to say about signals:

"Signal handlers should return by executing a 680x0 RTS instruction or by
calling Psigreturn(). Current signals sent and recognized by MiNT processes
are as follows:" (and the list follows, anding at 30 = SIGUSR2).

Now where does it say that this list may not be added to, as long as the
documented interface and the behaviour of the old signals stays the same.
