Yes. We can fix this in m4/double-slash-root.m4. Can you please
confirm the following?
1. If you run this shell command:
wc //dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1
echo status = $?
then the output is "status = 1" or some nonzero status like that.
2. In coreutils, the command build-aux/config.guess outputs
"i370-ibm-openedition".
If my guesses are right, the following patch should work, but I'd
like you to confirm my guesses before installing this. Thanks.
