Some scripts and Makefiles used during the bootstrap process use options
provided by GNU tools (bash, test, diff) which are not supported by stock
Solaris 2.8 tools.
The errors I have encountered so far (I'm still fighting with installation)
are:
missing -a flag between two tests
use of test -e, which should be replaced by test -f
(or test -d for directories)
use of set -C in shell (which has no equivalent)
use of diff -U 0, which should be replaced by diff -C 0 with the additional
trick to add a space between the initial '-' or '+' character and the line
The concerned files are libjava/classpath/lib/gen-classlist.sh.in,
libjava/classpath/lib/Makefile.am and
libjava/classpath/scripts/check_jni_methods.sh.
I will post a patch for this in a few minutes.
