It doesn't work for me. In preparePipe() you forgot to use the variable
mode in the subsequent open(). I've fixed that, but it still doesn't work.
Linux lsof can't show file descriptor flags and I don't know any other way
to get the O_NONBLOCK flag from the kernel, so I'm inferring from the
behaviour. strace still shows 30 second sleep in select().
I suppose that the code from runtime/stream.c is being used and it has
unconditional non-blocking mode for STREAMTYPE_NAMED_PIPE. I don't know
enough about architecture to be able to write a correct patch for that.
I'm not even sure I'm using ompipe module. I don't load it explicitely in
the config file, version 5.6.0 doesn't have documentation for it, so I
wasn't even aware it existed before I've seen your patch.
In the configuration file I'm using FIFO like this:
local1.* |/opt/foo/my_named_pipe
And that seems to use the code from stream.c. I'm not aware of any other
way to use a FIFO as a destination.

I'm not aware of a repository with the newer autotools packages. I
didn't need them so far, so I wasn't looking.
