Done.

Good catch.  I've removed this from the ChangeLog entries that were
just committed.  Originally, I had added this, but during my merge
into the current sources, I discovered that it wasn't needed.

The configury changes have/had already been committed.  See my
ChangeLog entry for 2001-03-05.

You're right.  I've fixed this too.

I've made the requested changes and have committed them.  Prior to
the commit, I did test builds on AIX5, Solaris 8, and Unixware 7.
I've also tested for regressions on Unixware 7.  (I had previously
tested for regressions on Solaris 8, but until recently, did not have
a Unixware 7 box to build on so I thought it prudent to test for
regressions there as well.)

The bulk of the patch is the same as what was originally posted, so
I won't repost the entire patch unless otherwise requested.  The only
part which is different is from procfs.c and accomodates Michael's
request to use typedefs for struct sigaction and struct siginfo instead
of #define.  Here it is...
