Greetz,

	I am trying to compile BASH 2.02.1, (no, not a djgpp port) and am
getting an error that SIGCHLD is an undeclared identifier.  In sig.h,
SIGCHLD is defined as SIGCLD, if JOB_CONTROL is defined, which it is not. 
Unfortunately also, SIGCLD is not defined anywhere in the djgpp header
files.  I guess this makes sense, DOS not having the functionality to
support child processes, etc.
	Is the bash code in error by trying to compile something that 
refers to SIGCHLD when JOB_CONTROL is undefined?  What shall I do to work 
around this: define SIGCLD/SIGCHLD with (somewhat arbitrary) values?  
Define JOB_CONTROL and pray?  Thanks.

			Jeremy


PS: gcc 2.8.1, djdev 2.02 (release).
