I 1st met this problem with automake, but I can reproduce it with only 
the five lines above on a Solaris 2.6 machine.

SunOS adesso 5.6 Generic_105181-14 sun4m sparc

-r-xr-xr-x   2 bin      bin       186356 Jul 16  1997 /bin/ksh

# Support unset when possible.
if ((MAIL=60; unset MAIL) || exit) >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  as_unset=unset
else
  as_unset=false
fi
EOF

And I still get the message
> /bin/ksh x.x
x.x[2]: syntax error at line 2 : `||' unexpected

Hope this helps a little bit out
