           dup(2) the read FD on the jobserver pipe.  The read(2) call below

/* Determine if the load average on the system is too high to start a new job.
   The real system load average is only recomputed once a second.  However, a
   very parallel make can easily start tens or even hundreds of jobs in a
   second, which brings the system to its knees for a while until that first
   batch of jobs clears out.

   To avoid this we use a weighted algorithm to try to account for jobs which
   have been started since the last second, and guess what the load average
   would be now if it were computed.

   This algorithm was provided by Thomas Riedl <thomas.riedl@siemens.com>,
   who writes:

!      calculate something load-oid and add to the observed sys.load,
!      so that latter can catch up:
!      - every job started increases jobctr;
!      - every dying job decreases a positive jobctr;
!      - the jobctr value gets zeroed every change of seconds,
!        after its value*weight_b is stored into the 'backlog' value last_sec
!      - weight_a times the sum of jobctr and last_sec gets
!        added to the observed sys.load.
!
!      The two weights have been tried out on 24 and 48 proc. Sun Solaris-9
!      machines, using a several-thousand-jobs-mix of cpp, cc, cxx and smallish
!      sub-shelled commands (rm, echo, sed...) for tests.
!      lowering the 'direct influence' factor weight_a (e.g. to 0.1)
!      resulted in significant excession of the load limit, raising it
!      (e.g. to 0.5) took bad to small, fast-executing jobs and didn't
!      reach the limit in most test cases.
!
!      lowering the 'history influence' weight_b (e.g. to 0.1) resulted in
!      exceeding the limit for longer-running stuff (compile jobs in
!      the .5 to 1.5 sec. range),raising it (e.g. to 0.5) overrepresented
!      small jobs' effects.

#ifndef DONTWAITFORCHILD
/*
 *      Code to make ctrl+c and ctrl+y working.
 *      The problem starts with the synchronous case where after lib$spawn is
 *      called any input will go to the child. But with input re-directed,
 *      both control characters won't make it to any of the programs, neither
 *      the spawning nor to the spawned one. Hence the caller needs to spawn
 *      with CLI$M_NOWAIT to NOT give up the input focus. A sys$waitfr
 *      has to follow to simulate the wanted synchronous behaviour.
 *      The next problem is ctrl+y which isn't caught by the crtl and
 *      therefore isn't converted to SIGQUIT (for a signal handler which is
 *      already established). The only way to catch ctrl+y, is an AST
 *      assigned to the input channel. But ctrl+y handling of DCL needs to be
 *      disabled, otherwise it will handle it. Not to mention the previous
 *      ctrl+y handling of DCL needs to be re-established before make exits.
 *      One more: At the time of LIB$SPAWN signals are blocked. SIGQUIT will
 *      make it to the signal handler after the child "normally" terminates.
 *      This isn't enough. It seems reasonable for simple command lines like
 *      a 'cc foobar.c' spawned in a subprocess but it is unacceptable for
 *      spawning make. Therefore we need to abort the process in the AST.
 *
 *      Prior to the spawn it is checked if an AST is already set up for
 *      ctrl+y, if not one is set up for a channel to SYS$COMMAND. In general
 *      this will work except if make is run in a batch environment, but there
 *      nobody can press ctrl+y. During the setup the DCL handling of ctrl+y
 *      is disabled and an exit handler is established to re-enable it.
 *      If the user interrupts with ctrl+y, the assigned AST will fire, force
 *      an abort to the subprocess and signal SIGQUIT, which will be caught by
 *      the already established handler and will bring us back to common code.
 *      After the spawn (now /nowait) a sys$waitfr simulates the /wait and
 *      enables the ctrl+y be delivered to this code. And the ctrl+c too,
 *      which the crtl converts to SIGINT and which is caught by the common
 *      signal handler. Because signals were blocked before entering this code
 *      sys$waitfr will always complete and the SIGQUIT will be processed after
 *      it (after termination of the current block, somewhere in common code).
 *      And SIGINT too will be delayed. That is ctrl+c can only abort when the
 *      current command completes. Anyway it's better than nothing :-)
