I gave this is run through last night and the results were not thrilling
 but here they are :


## ------------- ##
## Test results. ##

ERROR: 508 tests were run,
17 failed (4 expected failures).
15 tests were skipped.

Please send `tests/testsuite.log' and all information you think might help:

   To: <bug-autoconf@gnu.org>
   Subject: [GNU Autoconf 2.69b] testsuite: 221 222 273 280 295 318 319
320 321 322 323 335 346 failed

You may investigate any problem if you feel able to do so, in which
case the test suite provides a good starting point.  Its output may
be found below `tests/testsuite.dir'.

gmake[2]: *** [Makefile:2150: check-local] Error 1
gmake[2]: Leaving directory
'/opt/bw/build/autoconf-2.69b_sunos5.10_sparcv9.002'
gmake[1]: *** [Makefile:1687: check-am] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory
'/opt/bw/build/autoconf-2.69b_sunos5.10_sparcv9.002'
gmake: *** [Makefile:1689: check] Error 2

So I guess I can look into the test area for some logs files and what
ever was left behind.  I attached a tarball that has everything about
the procedure and the results.  I have yet to go digging in there but
figured I would post this first and then climb down into the test
results and look around.
