The problem is here:
# Number of found conflicts.
case $gram in
(sr) sr_count=1; rr_count=0;;
(rr) sr_count=0; rr_count=1;;
(sr-rr) sr_count=1; rr_count=1;;
esac
With old shells, you have to write (no opening parens)
# Number of found conflicts.
case $gram in
sr) sr_count=1; rr_count=0;;
rr) sr_count=0; rr_count=1;;
sr-rr) sr_count=1; rr_count=1;;
esac
Which is really silly, and really bad for text editor that try to match parens.
Don't you have bash installed?
I can make the test suite more portable (if we work together), but the simplest
would really be to use a more modern shell to run the tests. Something like
make check SHELL=/bin/bash
should work.

:)
Well, the thing is that it's a pain to be compliant with them, if it's useless.
If some users do want to use them (and have no alternatives, such as
installing bash), we can work on it.
