it builds on linuxppc, but installation fails during inst-doc: it
doesn't find any ./doc/src/*.dvi and ./doc/src/*.ps and stops.

It also builds and runs (haven't done any real testing, just do ./go
and some multiplications) on a few other platforms, but installation
fails for the same reason:

  - MacOS X 10.1
  - Solaris 8 on SPARC
  - FreeBSD/x86 4.4
  - Linux/UltraSPARC (kernel 2.2.18)
  - Linux/RS6000 (kernel 2.2.17)

It doesn't build on AlphaLinux, because for some ridiculous reason
SIGINFO == SIGPWR there, so scsh_aux.c doesn't compile (duplicate case
values). If it's legal to have different signal names with the same
value, the test would have to be changed to a sequence of ifs.

It doesn't build on HPUX 10.2 because it doesn't have seteuid and
setegid; however, it does have setreuid and setregid (from
<sys/unistd.h>) -- maybe autoconf knows about that one?
