When configuring, oleo 1.2 checks twice for the existence of ualarm. It shouldn't have to check more than once. Looking at the source code, ualarm is always present (perhaps because it is defined in ualarm.c), so HAVE_UALARM is a misnomer. HAVE_UALARM means ``was ualarm provided by the underlying system?'', not ``do we have ualarm?''. This is confusing. Perhaps the substituted function should have a different name, since it isn't a complete replacement for ualarm. sh configure checking for gcc checking how to run the C preprocessor checking for bison checking for install checking for POSIXized ISC checking for System V checking for return type of signal handlers checking for ANSI C header files checking for X11/X.h checking for working alloca.h checking for alloca checking for _doprnt checking for random checking for ualarm <--- checking for ualarm <--- checking for setitimer
