SIGCLD is the signal that is delivered to the parent program when the 
status of its child program changes, like when the child exits or is 
stopped (by pressing Ctrl-Z).  These events will never happen with DJGPP 
programs, so you can safely #ifdef away that code.

Lazy is not a good strategy when porting programs ;-).

I suggest to find out what part(s) of the Makefile don't work with Bash, 
and why, and post the relevant info here.  I'm guessing that all of them 
can be easily fixed by using equivalent Bash features.
