DJGPP's bash can have test -f find an executable simply because many Unixy
scripts (including autoconf's configure) use -f t
After setting a number of environment variables and running
sh ./configure
followed by make I got the following error at the end:-
make[1]: Leaving directory `/eval/autoconf-2.49d'
Making all in m4
make[1]: Entering directory `/eval/autoconf-2.49d/m4'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
