Portability fix for glob.h building in FreeBSD ports system.
Implement a fix for bug # 2169: too many OSs, even major OSs like Solaris, don't properly implement SA_RESTART: important system calls like stat() can still fail when SA_RESTART is set. So, forget the BROKEN_RESTART config check and get rid of atomic_stat() and atomic_readdir(), and implement permanent wrappers for EINTR checking on various system calls (stat(), fstat(), opendir(), and readdir() so far).

+ Fix bug # 2169, also reported by other people on various systems.
+
+ * make.h: Some systems, such as Solaris and PTX, do not fully
+ implement POSIX-compliant SA_RESTART functionality; important
+ system calls like stat() and readdir() can still fail with EINTR
+ even if SA_RESTART has been set on the signal handler. So,
+ introduce macros EINTRLOOP() and ENULLLOOP() which can loop on
+ EINTR for system calls which return -1 or 0 (NULL), respectively,
+ on error.
+ Also, remove the old atomic_stat()/atomic_readdir() and
+ HAVE_BROKEN_RESTART handling.
+
+ * configure.in: Remove setting of HAVE_BROKEN_RESTART.
+
+ * arscan.c (ar_member_touch): Use EINTRLOOP() to wrap fstat().
+ * remake.c (touch_file): Ditto.
+
+ * commands.c (delete_target): Use EINTRLOOP() to wrap stat().
+ * read.c (construct_include_path): Ditto.
+ * remake.c (name_mtime): Ditto.
+ * vpath.c (selective_vpath_search): Ditto.
+ * dir.c (find_directory): Ditto.
+ (local_stat): Ditto.
+ (find_directory): Use ENULLLOOP() to wrap opendir().
+ (dir_contents_file_exists_p): Use ENULLLOOP() to wrap readdir().
+
+ * misc.c: Remove HAVE_BROKEN_RESTART, atomic_stat(), and
+ atomic_readdir() handling.
