Public bug reported: Binary package hint: autoconf2.64
Some versions of the ash shell will not allow redirection to a stream number held in a variable: # This construct does not work in some versions of the ash shell echo $1 >&$2 The autoconf tool sometimes generates scripts using this construct, The following is an example of a code snippet using this construct in a configure script: if test "$3"; then as_lineno=${as_lineno-"$2"} as_lineno_stack=as_lineno_stack=$as_lineno_stack $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENUM}: error: $1" >&$3 fi (I think this is coming from the _AS_ECHO_LOG macro).
