I don't really know what your problem might be, and I don't have time
to investigate, but I just wanted to say that I just installed 2.6.18
from ports on my 5.3 laptop. I see in the manpage for signbit that
it's a macro added to the math library starting from version 5.1 of
FreeBSD, are you running 4.x? Maybe it's a glitch and you should
contact the port maintainer? Anyway, I don't think it's for this list.

Best regards,
