This is a step toward securing a fricas build, which on my box at least
is just about done.  signal.h, from bsdsignal.c, conflicts with my full
stdint on some symbol containing 'fds', which I do not need.   The
intent is to extract the needed parts in h/mstdint.h.  This is an
intermediate file removed by make, but you can look at it with 'make
h/mstdint.h' from the top level.  Apparently the regexp used there needs
adjusting for your system.

Good to hear.  I had trouble with gcc13 on Catalina which I did not
pursue as it would not get me gprof anyway :-(.  I'm using the external
gmp library which works well -- does this not work for you?  I'm
thinking of removing the convenience copy of gmp4.

Take care,
