} I fixed #2 by re-doing the way signames.c is created. Instead of a AWK
} script that gets run on a signal.h file, a C program is compiled and
} run. This gets it right even if the signal.h file is hard to parse.
I haven't examined the patch in detail to check this, but did you make
sure that the compilation of this program is performed in such a way that
it executes correctly on the current hardware even when cross-compiling
for another architecture?
} My fix for #1 may be controversial because it may break for people who
} need to keep using an older autoconf. Is upgrading a problem?
It'd be better if it weren't necessary. Copy it into aczsh.m4 and give
it a different name, e.g zsh_EXEEXT ?
} My fix for #2, I think, is a good thing. ;-) I'd do the same thing for
} the RLIMIT stuff if cygwin had RLIMIT stuff.
It's not a good thing if it won't cross-compile. I didn't use to pay much
attention to this, but I've just been through this particular plane of hell
with procmail's build system (which even compiles and runs C programs to do
sed-like substition on its man page templates!) so I'm feeling sensitive.
