	Ok, left or right ?

	This depends on how you invoke   ./configure
	Per default it used CC="cc", but you can choose to have
	others as well.  Have you looked at the INSTALL file ?

	Dies at ordered.c ?  How ?  Which source version ?
	(My CVS snapshots had generic problems, now the lattest
	 one should be ok.)

	This one has never been an easy case.
	What type is your  sys_siglist[]  ?

	In theory the  sys_siglist[]  is lookup up in the
	autoconfiguration macroes. What does   config.log
	tell about the tests ?

	At my GNU-LIBC-2.0 systems it is apparently:

		const char * const sys_siglist[];

	At some other systems I see it as  __sys_siglist[], but
	linking will find also   sys_siglist[].

	Anyway, it should only be needed when   strsignal()
	function can't be found from system libc.  Doesn't
	it exist in your BSDi ?
