[sr #110267] Testsuite regressions from 2.69 on Solaris 10 (SPARC)

[Zack Weinberg]

Follow-up Comment #1, sr #110267 (project autoconf):

I've pushed a partial fix for this.  As of revision 71b5037a, tests 365 367
390 391 392 393 394 395 396 397 398 399 400 should pass.

209 appears to be an intermittent race condition in the parallel testsuite
driver, not Solaris-specific; I will look into it further but it only causes
cosmetic problems (the test fails because it's checking the cosmetics of
testsuite output).

The remaining failures (221 222 260 307) all appear to be problems either with
Sun's compilers or Sun's `make`, and I can't reproduce these on the only
Solaris 10 host I have access to (gcc210.fsffrance.org, aka
gcc-solaris10.baltic-online.de) because neither /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc nor any
command named `make` is installed.  (The problems do _not_ reproduce with
/opt/solstudio12.2/bin/cc and /opt/solstudio12.2/bin/dmake.)  Would you mind
digging into these a little deeper?  I think the `make`-related failures at
least should be easy (something is setting MAKEFLAGS to a garbage value?)
