Is that really libtool-1.5 and not libtool-1.5.24?  Because the former
is rather old, more than four years (and I think the quote test has seen
a related bugfix since).  Also, you should be using a newer m4, as 1.4.5
fixes a rather nasty bug that shows in some Autoconf-generated configure
scripts.

Thanks.  Is that the demo-make.test that is run after demo-nopic.test?
If yes, then please rerun verbosely like this:

  gmake check VERBOSE=yes TESTS="demo-nopic.test demo-make.test quote.test"

and post the output.

Cheers,
