Re: GNU make 3.80 rc1

[Michael Sterrett -Mr. Bones.-]

Paul,

    Attached are two patches against make-3.80rc1 that I *must* apply to
    GNU make to get it work properly on PTX boxes.

    The first adds a new function, atomic_stat() which checks for and
    loops on EINTR.  The second adds EINTR handling to readdir() in dir.c.

    Both of these situations drove me nearly crazy when we starting really
    using GNU make here since it would work fine with one process, but
    die in various amusing ways with -j (since we get SIGCHLD).

    Please, please...could you add these patches or functionally equivalent
    code (if you don't like the patches themselves) to 3.80?
