This is because es uses setjmp and longjmp rather than sigsetjmp and
siglongj mp.  I have this patch and a number of others that I am hoping
to have out by the end of the week along with a gnu autoconf'ed es.  I
just need to get my hands on autoconf-2.11 and rebuild my configure
files and test things.

I also have patches that allows es to build on linux and mklinux (and
other power with readline
