signanosleep() did not deal with signal masks properly. This change was
based on a discussion with bde some time ago (at least 6 months or more).
signanosleep() should probably go away since it was never really used for
more than a few weeks and doesn't appear in released code. It should
probably be killed before somebody uses it and it becomes a gratuitous
nonstandard feature.
but doesn't do much of anything with it. I added it to siopnp_ids[]
and it was found and recognized as a serial port.

these two files that are almost-but-not-quite the same leads to false grep
hits, confusion etc.
Only installing one copy with a symlink would be nice but that doesn't
work with SHARED=symlinks (it changes the source tree).
in nfs_vinvalbuf() or the nfs_removeit(), we can have the nfsnode reallocated
from underneath us (eg: replaced by a ufs 'struct inode') which can cause
disk corruption ('freeing free block' when di_db[5] gets trashed).
This is not a cheap fix, but it'll do until the nfsnodes get reference
counting and/or locking.
Apparently NetBSD have a similar fix (apparently from BSDI).
I wish all PR's had this much useful detail. :-)

CURDIR it has been built without an obj directory; however if it is in
neither of those places, we expect it to be in DESTDIR.
Yes Bruce, I know this is broken because the host is not supposed to be
the same as the target, but we need to get the hosted build working
properly first before even attempting a cross compiled operating
system build. That will need to concept of TOOLSDIR or something that
can be mapped to DESTDIR in the case of a hosted build and set to the
installed tools in a cross compiled build. Later, later, later!
perl executable from overriding the object directory path search where
perl is most likely to be. Most people haven't seen this because it
defaulted to /usr/bin/perl which might be OK as a fallback, but when
bootstrapping a new version (or the *first* version on alpha), we don't
really want to use /usr/bin/perl.
This is a result of discussions on the mailing lists. Kudos to those who
have found the issue and created work-arounds. I have chosen Tor's fix
for now, before we can all work the issue more completely.
