Yep. We've had too much trouble with `expr' so far.
Maybe we could test whether `expr' works for us, and set `expr=false'
if it doesn't, then use $expr...

In order to properly implement the proposal of Alexandre (expr=false

It would really help if someone who has an access to an Ultrix could
run the following guy. That's the main reason why there is no 2.49b
release. If someone knows somebody who has an access, please
denunciate her :)
Better yet, if someone knows a means to have an ssh account on an

Akim,
Have a chat to the folks at www.rtr.com
They advertise a Dec Ultix as part of their porting center.

We used the porting center in the past until we had the machines we used

Hi Autoconfers,
I'm slowly but steadily proceeding in makechecking autoconf on whatever
machine I can get hold of, during my spare minutes...:)
You told me to report any failed checks, so here are a couple of them on a
RISC running AIX 4.3.3 , with the CVS version checked out this afternoon.
You're right. I'm actually referring to a PATH resolution.
~ % PATH=/tmp:$PATH thomas.shnostromo 18:25
/tmp/thomas.sh
/tmp/thomas.sh param
...done
Thanks for the report. Actually none is really grave. The failure of
test 28 is known, we just have to decide how we want to fix it
---which is currently being discussed. The failure of test 66 just
demonstrates that AC_FUNC_MMAP forgets to clean its test file, which
will fix shortly.

This is just plain wrong in case srcdir is a relative pathname. The
problem isn't the `.' special-case, the problem is that this assumes
${srcdir} is absolute.
