Scott,

Please have the courtesy to respect other people's problem reports.
Whether the problem is "real" or "imaginary" in the sense of something
being wrong with the kernel or library sources is irrelevant -- if it
fails to work for someone, it's a problem. The kernel list is here to
help people resolve problems.

FWIW, modutils 2.1.55 and 2.1.71 fails to build on my system as well
because of the recent changes in signal handling.

Bill
