[Q31] ``What's the problem with configure --enable-omitfp?''
{AJ} When configuring with --enable-omitfp the libraries are build
without frame pointers. Some compilers produce in this situation buggy
code and therefore we don't advise using it at the moment.
If you use --enable-omitfp, you're on your own. If you encounter
problems with a library that was build this way, I'll advise you to
rebuild the library without --enable-omitfp. If the problem vanishes
consider tracking the problem down and report it as compiler failure.
Since a library build with --enable-omitfp is undebuggable, a
debuggable library is also build - you can recognize it by the suffix
"_g" to the library names.
The compilation of this extra libraries and the compiler optimizations
slow down the build process and need more disk space.

[Q32] ``Why don't signals interrupt system calls anymore?''
[A32] {ZW} By default GNU libc uses the BSD semantics for signal(),
unlike Linux libc 5 which used System V semantics. This is partially
for compatibility with other systems and partially because the BSD
semantics tend to make programming with signals easier.
There are three differences:
* BSD-style signals that occur in the middle of a system call do not
affect the system call; System V signals cause the system call to
fail and set errno to EINTR.
* BSD signal handlers remain installed once triggered. System V signal
handlers work only once, so one must reinstall them each time.
* A BSD signal is blocked during the execution of its handler. In other
words, a handler for SIGCHLD (for example) does not need to worry about
being interrupted by another SIGCHLD. It may, however, be interrrupted
by other signals.
There is general consensus that for `casual' programming with signals, the
BSD semantics are preferable. You don't need to worry about system calls
returning EINTR, and you don't need to worry about the race conditions
associated with one-shot signal handlers.
If you are porting an old program that relies on the old semantics, you can
quickly fix the problem by changing signal() to sysv_signal() throughout.
Alternatively, define _XOPEN_SOURCE before including <signal.h>.
For new programs, the sigaction() function allows you to specify precisely
how you want your signals to behave. All three differences listed above are
individually switchable on a per-signal basis with this function.
If all you want is for one specific signal to cause system calls to fail
and return EINTR (for example, to implement a timeout) you can do this with
siginterrupt().
