I saw same.

According to config.h, LINUX could be defined.

Maybe SIGEMT is needed by others?

Maybe STDC_HEADERS or USG or SYSV should be set.

Looking at config.h again I see that setting LINUX will do:
#ifdef LINUX
#define SYSV /* Linux is SysV */


Can you try building metamail without your patches and in the
pkgsrc/metamail/Makefile have something like
MAKE_ENV+=	-DLINUX
?

Thanks for your PR.
