At this point, replies can drop bug-gnulib. Is there also a standalone kill(1) provided somewhere on PATH? What do the following do? $ sh -c 'kill $$'; echo $? $ sh -c 'env kill $$'; echo $? $ sh -c 'kill -9 $$'; echo $? $ sh -c 'env kill -9 $$'; echo $? If you still want to improve the behavior of 174.sysval, it might be worth grabbing an strace (or whatever similar mechanism AIX provides) to see what system calls the following two m4 runs use: $ echo 'syscmd(kill -9 $$)sysval' > file $ m4 file $ m4 -Dsyscmd='esyscmd($@)' file - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
