Hello akim,

I have 2 problems with CVS autoconf on Tru64 v5.1 :

1) A Small quotation is missing in AC_TRY_* test grep patterns :

        grep ^The\ Cat\ in\ the\ Hat\$

should be
        
        grep \^The\ Cat\ in\ the\ Hat\$


Tru64 `/bin/sh' uses the circumflex as pipe command separator.

address@hidden> man 1p sh
[...]
  Quoting

  The following characters have a special meaning to the shell and cause ter-
  mination of a word unless quoted:

       ; & ( ) | ^ < > <newline> <space> <tab>
[...]


2) A test suite construction problem ?

====================================
Testing suite for GNU Autoconf 2.49d

Some tests might be skipped if you don't have the software which the
macros check (e.g., a Fortran compiler).


Executables (autoheader, autoupdate...).

  1: tools.at:29       ok (skipped near `tools.at:53')
  2: tools.at:76       testsuite: warning: no at-check-line which means a 
failure happened
testsuite: warning: in a AT_SETUP/AT_CLEANUP pair before any
testsuite: warning: AT_CHECK could be run.  This test suite is
testsuite: warning: improperly designed, please report to
testsuite: warning: <address@hidden>.
ok
  3: tools.at:107      ok
[...]

But there is no info for this in testsuite.log ...
