Shouldn’t $SHELL be used for the tools invoked from „bootstrap“? > Because there is an easy fix in Gnulib I installed the attached patch. > However, in the long run if you want to continue to build on Solaris 10 I > expect you will need to fix the Buildbot procedure so that it does only > './configure; make' on Solaris 10. That is what I do, when I test on Solaris > 10. I am not sure what needs adjustment here, from your comment I read that the PATH should include something like bash as /bin/sh which I cannot provide, or did I missing something here? Your fix worked and there are now 2 test failures: https://buildfarm.opencsw.org/buildbot/builders/ggrep-solaris10-sparc/builds/94 Best regards — Dago -- "You don't become great by trying to be great, you become great by wanting to do something, and then doing it so hard that you become great in the process." - xkcd #896
