- Macro: AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS If the system automatically restarts a system call that is interrupted by a signal, define `HAVE_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS'.
Python might probably wrap calls when these are restartable, or transmit the error upwards for systems where calls are not restartable.
I think that macro means that you *don't* have to use a wrapper to restart syscalls, because it happens automatically. So if it's not defined it means you have to restart them manually, not that they can't be restarted at all.
