If you want code that will work on a variety of systems, the only way to do that portably is to write portable code to begin with.
You can't magically take a script that works on AIX systems using options that are only available on AIX and make it work on HP-UX, Solaris, and Linux systems. You can't magically take a script that works on HP-UX systems using options that are only available on HP-UX systems and make it work on AIX, Solaris, and Linux systems. You can't magically take a script that works on Solaris systems using options that are only available on Solaris systems and make it work on AIX, HP-UX, and Linux systems. You can't magically take a script that works on Debian Linux systems using options that are only available on Debian Linux systems and make it work on AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, and Red Hat Linux systems. ...
But, you can write a strictly conforming POSIX shell script and have it work perfectly on AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, and OS X systems (and if you're lucky, there is also a good chance that it will also work on many Linux systems and on many BSD systems).

ssignal
GSIGNAL(3) Linux Programmer's Manual GSIGNAL(3)
NAME
gsignal, ssignal - software signal facility
SYNOPSIS
#include <signal.h>
typedef void (*sighandler_t)(int);
int gsignal(int signum);
sighandler_t ssignal(int signum, sighandler_t action);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
gsignal(), ssignal(): _SVID_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
Don't use these functions under Linux. Due to a historical mistake, under Linux these functions are aliases for raise(3) and signal(2),
respectively.
Elsewhere, on System V-like systems, these functions implement software signaling, entirely independent of the classical signal(2) and
kill(2) functions. The function ssignal() defines the action to take when the software signal with number signum is raised using the func-
tion gsignal(), and returns the previous such action or SIG_DFL. The function gsignal() does the following: if no action (or the action
SIG_DFL) was specified for signum, then it does nothing and returns 0. If the action SIG_IGN was specified for signum, then it does noth-
ing and returns 1. Otherwise, it resets the action to SIG_DFL and calls the action function with argument signum, and returns the value
returned by that function. The range of possible values signum varies (often 1-15 or 1-17).
CONFORMING TO
These functions are available under AIX, DG/UX, HP-UX, SCO, Solaris, Tru64. They are called obsolete under most of these systems, and are
broken under Linux libc and glibc. Some systems also have gsignal_r() and ssignal_r().
