So, if __EMX__ or __BEOS__ is defined, this function does not set any
timeout at all!

These are two weird ports that are, as far as I know, not maintained.
 
There is a more elaborate function interruptible_idle() in idle.c
which seems to be better handled than set_timeout(). It seems to work
on __EMX__ and SLEEP_WITH_ALARM, no mention of __BEOS__.

Probably, the code should be merged to get a better handling of
timeouts.

I'd consider a clean patch to do this.
