Configure Problem on Solaris 2.6

[Heinz Salzmann]

Automake 1.7.7, 1.7.8
OS: sparc-sun-solaris2.6

When running "configure" on the above OS i get the following error:

configure: creating ./config.status
./config.status[28]: syntax error at line 28 : `||' unexpected
-E- build.automake: /common/cad/GNU/automake/automake-1.7.8/configure 
--prefix=/usr/gnu --program-suffix=-1.7.8 ! Aborting.


Looking into configure reveals, that it was created by "autoconf 2.57f".
After reconfiguring "configure" with "autoconf 2.57" the whole process 
works fine. So it seems, there must be a problem with autoconf 2.57f for 
this OS.
