Here is the first issue: librt doesn't exist here (Mac OS X 10.5  
"Leopard").
However, the code compiles without the "-lrt".
$ g++ -O2 -o sigcatcher -pthread sigcatcher.cpp
$ g++ --version
i686-apple-darwin9-g++-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)

The next problem is, that sem_init(..) isn't implemented here.
$ ./sigcatcher
Error: sem_init: Function not implemented
$

It seems that only named semaphores are implemented.
I've changed this part of your code to use sem_open(..) instead [see  
attachment] and then I get the expected result:
