Is it valid to have multiple signal handlers for same signal?

As said by others, only one signal handler can be set, which is the last one. You would then have to manage calling two functions yourself. The sigaction function can return the previously installed signal handler which you can call yourself.

Something like this (untested code):

/* other signal handlers */
static void (*lib1_sighandler)(int) = NULL;
static void (*lib2_sighandler)(int) = NULL;

static void aggregate_handler(int signum)
{
    /* your own cleanup */
    if (lib1_sighandler)
        lib1_sighandler(signum);
    if (lib2_sighandler)
        lib2_sighandler(signum);
}

... (later in main)
struct sigaction sa;
struct sigaction old;

lib1_init(...);
/* retrieve lib1's sig handler */
sigaction(SIGINT, NULL, &old);
lib1_sighandler = old.sa_handler;

lib2_init(...);
/* retrieve lib2's sig handler */
sigaction(SIGINT, NULL, &old);
lib2_sighandler = old.sa_handler;

/* set our own sig handler */
memset(&sa, 0, sizeof(sa));
sa.sa_handler = aggregate_handler;
sigemptyset(&sa.sa_mask);
sigaction(SIGINT, &sa, NULL);
