I really don't think it was the CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT option (I spoke too soon). I'm pretty sure that's for tools like sar and also the system where I'm not having this issue doesn't have that option either. I'm not sure what it was. I decided to rebuild the system. This time I used the 2008.0 stage 3 instead of the snapshot. Also I'm using amd64/baselayout-1 until I get everything configured the way I want it and then switch to ~amd64. So far things are working fine. I'm not sure what exactly the issue was before but I'm going to take things a little slower this time and keep my fingers crossed :) Thanks to everyone for their input. -a

[gentoo-user] netkit-rsh ./configure problem
I can't get netkit-rsh (not that I want it but it's an (indirect)
runtime dependency of xinit). This is a brand new machine that I'm
building.
Basically the error is:
Checking for BSD signal semantics... no
This package needs BSD signal semantics to run.
sed: can't read MCONFIG: No such file or directory
Upon inspection of the ./configure script, I see it is compiling and
running the following snippet:
#include unistd.h
#include signal.h
int count=0;
void handle(int foo) { count++; }
int main() {
int pid=getpid();
signal(SIGINT, handle);
kill(pid,SIGINT);
kill(pid,SIGINT);
kill(pid,SIGINT);
if (count!=3) return 1;
return 0;
}
If I compile this on the target machine, it exits with 1. I checked and
count=0. If I compile this on another machine it exits with 0. Even
when I take the compiled exe from the other machine and copy it to the
target machine it exits 1.
This is disturbing.
Any ideas?

I should also mention that I also can't, for example, press CTRL-C at the shell prompt to exit a program (such as emerge). So somehow (some) signals are not being sent/received. -a

For some reason I think this has something to do with the kernel or glibc (or some combo). I should mention also that I used (for the first time) the minimal snapshot (which I guess is the only one supported) and also the stage3 snapshot and also this is ~amd64. I may just try to do an 'emerge -e world' and see what happens. -a
