On the FreeBSD and NetBSD testdrive hosts, remake4.test fails. It can be "fixed" by adding some more sleep. For lack of better knowledge, I assume non-synchronized clocks with the NFS server or so, given the other oddities we've found with those systems.
What do you think? Does anybody have a better explanation for this? Cheers, Ralf * tests/remake4.test: Wait after touching `aclocal.m4' to ensure strictly different times even with "interesting" NFS setups.
