I pushed the following doc fix into Autoconf, so that these two portability issues are documented there. It turns out that the second issue is actually due to an old Bash bug -- it's not Solaris-specific. From b1f0e147aa7aa259dea2c34c5a0ac7965d6efd7e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Eggert

bug#10441: The testsuite assumes that ln -s really creates a symlink

2012-01-05 Thread Peter Rosin
