cvs autoconf testsuite failure under solaris 2.5.1

[Nicolas Joly]

I noticed some testsuite failure for CVS autoconf under solaris-2.5.1;
it seems that most of them have the same problem :

[...]
./semantics.at:47: cat state-env.after
./semantics.at:47: cat state-ls.after
19a20
> conftest.o
[...]

Here follow the `testsuite.log' file :
