proposed getloadavg patch to trim unused parts and speed up 'configure'

In modifying GNU Emacs to use getloadavg I noticed that configuring getloadavg takes too much time, and that this isn't needed. I propose the following patch. It removes support for ancient features that I think nobody needs any more, namely, getloadavg implementations that require setgid use, al

invariant (X)? I'm not a big fan of that name, since the expressions in question are often not invariants. They might be preconditions or postconditions, for example.

Thanks for that review, Bruno. I'll add the following before pushing: From c46ceeaabfab5055455daf282e64bc37d3a98ea9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Eggert Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2011 13:09:20 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] test-getloadavg: make it act like other tests Suggested by Bruno Haible in
