Re: signal handling different in 1.8.3 than 1.8.1?

[Gregory Marton]

While trying to compile the latest on the 1.8 branch,

gen-scmconfig.c: In function 'main':
gen-scmconfig.c:388: error: stray '@' in program
gen-scmconfig.c:388: error: stray '@' in program
gen-scmconfig.c:388: error: 
'SCM_I_GSC_NEED_BRACES_ON_PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER' undeclared (first use 
in this function)
gen-scmconfig.c:388: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only 
once
gen-scmconfig.c:388: error: for each function it appears in.)
gen-scmconfig.c:394: error: stray '@' in program
gen-scmconfig.c:394: error: stray '@' in program
gen-scmconfig.c:394: error: 'SCM_I_GSC_HAVE_STRUCT_DIRENT64' undeclared 
(first use in this function)

during make, with or without having invoked config with --without-threads

Help?
