Please ignore this patch.
If this gets defined in config.h:
#define bzero(a, b) memset(a, 0, b)
I get this error:
gcc -c -I../. -O2 -DPKG_SYSCONFDIR='"/usr/pkg/etc"' -DSYSV -I/usr/pkg/include -I. putenv.c
In file included from putenv.c:29:
/usr/include/string.h:260: error: parse error before numeric constant
*** Error code 1
If this gets defined in config.h:
#define killpg(a, b) kill(-(a), (b))
I get this error:
gcc -c -I../. -O2 -DPKG_SYSCONFDIR='"/usr/pkg/etc"' -DLINUX -I/usr/pkg/include -I. metamail.c
In file included from metamail.c:46:
/usr/include/signal.h:121: error: parse error before '-' token
/usr/include/signal.h:121: error: parse error before "int"
*** Error code 1
A simple patch to avoid defining bzero and killpg is all that is required to
solve the rest of the compile problems.

Ok, this solves the SIGEMT issue.
Sorry for complicating things.
