Re: automake or libtool question on Red Hat 7.2

[Paul F. Kunz]

   I just upgraded (?) my machine to Red Hat 7.2.   Now my "make
check" fails with...

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/pfkeb/hippodraw-BUILD/testsuite'
make  check-TESTS
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/pfkeb/hippodraw-BUILD/testsuite'
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: `failed=0; all=0;  srcdir=../../hippodraw/testsuite; 
export srcdir;  for tst in ; do  if test -f $tst; then dir=.;  else 
dir="../../hippodraw/testsuite"; fi;  if  $dir/$tst; then  all=`expr $all + 1`; 
 echo "PASS: $tst";  elif test $? -ne 77; then  all=`expr $all + 1`;  
failed=`expr $failed + 1`;  echo "FAIL: $tst";  fi;  done;  if test "$failed" 
-eq 0; then  banner="All $all tests passed";  else  banner="$failed of $all 
tests failed";  fi;  dashes=`echo "$banner" | sed s/./=/g`;  echo "$dashes";  
echo "$banner";  echo "$dashes";  test "$failed" -eq 0'
make[2]: *** [check-TESTS] Error 2

Compared to my Red Hat 7.1 machine, where things do not fail, autoconf
is same version, automake went to 1.4-p5, and libtool from 1.3.5 to
1.4.   However the above lines in the generated Makefile is identical
for the two versions.

   Is something broke with /bin/sh under 7.2 ?
