Yes, aclocal is modified to use versioned autom4te.
I need to have multiple versions of autoconf running here.
So aclocal was built to use the latest one at the time (2.63) so it
was running /opt/bin/autom4te263.

The patch works here.

Unfortunatly these systems do not ship with a bash.
I have built one here and test 127 does pass with CONFIG_SHELL=/opt/bin/bash
so it looks like yet another ksh bug. Hopefully the UnixWare engineers
will find some time to work on my support call about the ksh bugs.

Sure.
I've attached the full config.status but the interesting part is here.

I've seen this before back in autoconf-2.59.
Something as simple as this works around the problem.
