Re: autoconf 2.50 "make check" failures

Well, at first sight it seems that you are experiencing problems only
due to the test suite itself.  My first feeling is that you might have
been using a different shell to run the test suite and to set up
Autoconf.  Unfortunately, you should not: the test suite, for
instance, asks configure how it asked sh's echo not to append an end
of line.  So if the test suite's shell is different from that of
./configure, you get what you saw.

Maybe we should have the test suite dynamically check for this, I have
no idea.  Pavel?

Charles, when you ran ./configure, did you see those \c too?
