B) How to get around them? These are all part of BSD signal handling. A quick look at my bash source finds that you must have undefined (or not defined) NOJOBS. For your real system V you must #define NOJOBS. (I know, you really want job control. You gotta wait for SVR4). NOTE-> my comments are from the beta version of bash posted a few months ago, your version may be different. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Conor P.

These are system calls used in bash to implement job control on BSD
systems, except for sys_siglist which is an array of signal names.
Look at the "#ifdef SYSV...#else...#endif" sections in nojobs.c to see
the corresponding SYS V names.
(I installed bash yestreday on a Sun 3 running SunOS 4 with no problems.)
In the bash Makefile, if OS is defined as SYSV, and JOB_CONTROL is
undefined, and SIGLIST is defined as siglist.o, then none of the
symbols mentioned above should be required to link bash unless you've
hacked it to death.
