I recently picked up bash 1.03, and am trying to get it to run on a
fairly standard System V Release 2 box, but not having much luck.

The problems seem mostly to do with nojobs.c.  For instance, it uses
sigignore and sigrelse, which aren't available in SVR2, and nojobs.c
doesn't contain wait_for_{single,background}_pid functions, even
though jobs.c does and builtins.c calls them.

So, has anyone had any luck getting bash running on SVR2?  If so, could
you give me some pointers?

If no one's done this, I'll probably try to get it working (but it won't
be soon, being I have to do it in my copious free time :-).

Thanx much,
Brian L. Matthews
