The code snippet enabling Bourne-compatibility has been improved in
autoconf since the 2.59c version, which was the version from which
tests/defs.in stole its current Bourne-cmpatibility snippet.
Thus it should better to update tests/defs.in to use the newer
snippet provided by autoconf 2.64. The simple attached patch
should do this.
Regards,
Stefano
