I got this error from syntax-check:
jas@latte:~/src/libidn$ make sc_vulnerable_makefile_CVE-2012-3386
vulnerable_makefile_CVE-2012-3386
/bin/sh: 2: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
make: *** [sc_vulnerable_makefile_CVE-2012-3386] Fel 2
jas@latte:~/src/libidn$
The patch below appears to fix it. This is on a system with dash as
/bin/sh. Thoughts?
