If your line numbers match up with my sources, which it appears that
they do, then perhaps the signal.h for green hills compiler doesn't
[properly] declare the signal() routine, or worse, doesn't properly
implement it.  It should be declared:

	extern	(*signal())();


Now...  I didn't realize that you could get Green Hills compiler
for Microport.  Care to post some details and/or opinions?
