Here are three proposed patches to coreutils to address the SA_RESETHAND and SA_RESTART issues. I hope that if you combine them with the patch I already installed:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/commit/?id=837e1f55196f826b92d660808f594fde36651655 these should fix all the issues mentioned here. Joachim, could you please try these? Thanks. >From bbd4c9edfa4bd5650106261b7d9b1dd434d91581 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Eggert <egg...@cs.ucla.edu> Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2011 17:38:32 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] dd: port to NonStop (Bug#9076) * src/dd.c (SA_RESETHAND): Define to 0 if not defined. --- src/dd.c | 5 +++++ 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/dd.c b/src/dd.c index 3e75412..0824f6c 100644 --- a/src/dd.c +++ b/src/dd.c @@ -55,6 +55,11 @@ # endif #endif +/* NonStop circa 2011 lacks SA_RESETHAND; see Bug#9076. */ +#ifndef SA_RESETHAND +# define SA_RESETHAND 0 +#endif + #ifndef SIGINFO # define SIGINFO SIGUSR1 #endif -- 1.7.4.4 >From 995299ff155bef70a3b153dc8cef11ed9b1d8904 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Eggert <egg...@cs.ucla.edu> Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2011 17:39:28 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 2/3] ls: port to NonStop (Bug#9076) * src/ls.c (SA_RESTART): Define to 0 if not defined. --- src/ls.c | 8 ++++++++ 1 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/ls.c b/src/ls.c index c604e14..680a7c3 100644 --- a/src/ls.c +++ b/src/ls.c @@ -74,6 +74,14 @@ # endif #endif +/* NonStop circa 2011 lacks both SA_RESTART and siginterrupt, so don't + restart syscalls after a signal handler fires.
