>Originator:     Goetz Isenmann
>Release:        DragonFly 2.6 prerelease
>Organization:
>Environment:
i386 DragonFly v2.6.0.36.gf0294-RELEASE
>Description:
m4 has (via includes gnulib) in lib/spawn.in.h

# define POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGMASK         0x08
# define POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDPARAM      0x10
# define POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDULER       0x20

but DragonFly has in /usr/include/spawn.h

#define POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDPARAM       0x04
#define POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDULER        0x08
#define POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGMASK          0x20

The m4 builtins syscmd and esyscmd use the internal SETSIGMASK value 0x08.
This results in a: syscmd subprocess failed: Operation not permitted.

>How-To-Repeat:
(cd work/m4-1.4.14 && gmake check)

>Fix:
A simple fix DragonFly (as suggested for FreeBSD 8.0 in
www.mail-archive.com/bug-m4%gnu.org@localhost/msg02742.html)

The gnulib HEAD version contains a better fix for this and
probably also other problems.
