Details:
Some versions of the ash shell will not allow redirection to a stream number
held in a variable:
# This construct does not work in some versions of the ash shell
echo $1 >&$2
The autoconf tool sometimes generates scripts using this construct, The
following is an example of a code snippet using this construct in a configure
script:
if test "$3"; then as_lineno=${as_lineno-"$2"}
as_lineno_stack=as_lineno_stack=$as_lineno_stack
$as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENUM}: error: $1" >&$3
fi
(I think this is coming from the _AS_ECHO_LOG macro).
Mark.
PS: I tried to report this via email to bug-autoconf@gnu.org
but the mail just bounces. There may be a fault with the bug tracker:
Message-ID: <562582.29288...@web26503.mail.ukl.yahoo.com>
<bug-autoconf@gnu.org>:
140.186.70.92 does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 550 (result of an earlier callout reused).
Giving up on 140.186.70.92.
