Do they allow enabling/disabling restartable system calls in any other
way (IIRC someone mentioned some systems supporting sigvec or similar)?

Seems a shame to not be able to run parallel builds.

Any change to the configure script has to go through the autoconf team,
at address@hidden

I was just going to remove the MAKE_JOBSERVER stuff and leave it as:

  #if defined(HAVE_FCNTL_H)
  # include <fcntl.h>
  #endif

it won't hurt to include that header anyway.

Yes; in fact these are more explicitly shared and can be updated pretty
quickly; they are stuck on the FSF's FTP site and many packages download
new versions as part of their package release process.

Any updates to those should be sent to <address@hidden> (see the
comments at the top of these files for more info).
