*shurg* You mentioned that you had specifically set up the signal
handling to avoid looping on EINTR so I thought I had a better chance of
getting a patch into the official distribution if I used the same style.
I don't really have a preference for one over the other, but I'd prefer
not to have to patch gmake every time I want to upgrade so I wanted to
make it easy to integrate.
