I don't have the spec, but a perusal of secondary sources has
P1003.1-1990 specifying sa_handler and P1003.1-1993 adding sa_sigaction.

I should add that sigaction() without sa_handler is almost entirely
useless for portable programming, so it would be downright bizarre for
POSIX to specify sigaction() and yet omit sa_handler.
