This is fine with me, thank you. > (My reluctance to use tr is due to the fact that we don't rely on it > now, so why add it....) Fine with me, too. Please note though that tr is used in lib/autotest/general.m4 and lib/autoconf/status.m4 already. To cope with limited grep, coreutils is still missing the Automake patch. I guess you could also choose to ignore this, as both of these failures happen on AIX <= 5.1. Advising people to --disable-dependency-tracking there helps get around the missing Automake patch, too (but not the patch we're currently discussing). We still don't know what that Solaris failure was about, though, I guess. Which is one reason I think this change may still be quite valuable.
