The problem is in the way configure determines signal names. It creates
a shell var called sig_name.  You need to correct it.

In config.sh it should be comething like:

sig_name='ZERO HUP INT QUIT ILL TRAP IOT EMT FPE KILL BUS SEGV SYS PIPE ALRM TERM USR1 USR2 CHLD PWR'

In config.h it should be comething like:

#define SIG_NAME "ZERO","HUP","INT","QUIT","ILL","TRAP","IOT","EMT","FPE","KILL","BUS","SEGV","SYS","PIPE","ALRM","TERM","USR1","USR2","CHLD","PWR"

I have sent in the problem to Larry.
