Not sure if this is an automake or an autoconf problem, and I['m putting out
too many fires tonight.
For a Long Time I've noticed the following output at the beginning of each
"configure" run under Ultrix:
configure: loading cache /dev/null
checking build system type... mips-dec-ultrix4.4
checking host system type... mips-dec-ultrix4.4
checking target system type... mips-dec-ultrix4.4
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
/bin/sh: <BA>: not found
WARNING: `:' is needed, and you do not seem to have it handy on your
system. You might have modified some files without having the
proper tools for further handling them. Check the `README' file,
it often tells you about the needed prerequirements for installing
this package. You may also peek at any GNU archive site, in case
some other package would contain this missing `:' program.
configure: WARNING: `missing' script is too old or missing
...
And I just noticed a new problem with configure (the latest CVS version):
...
checking how to run the C preprocessor... # 1 "conftest.c"
# 1942 "configure"
# 1 "confdefs.h" 1
# 1943 "configure" 2
# 1 "/usr/local/mips-dec-ultrix4.4/include/assert.h" 1 3
...
# 1945 "configure"
Syntax error

configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
