Package: tix
Severity: serious
Version: 8.4-2

>From my build log:

...
checking for building with threads... yes
checking how to build libraries... static
checking if 64bit support is enabled... no
checking if 64bit Sparc VIS support is requested... no
checking system version (for dynamic loading)... ../configure: line 10786: 
syntax error near unexpected token `('
../configure: line 10786: `    case `(ac_space=' '; set | grep ac_space) 2>&1` 
in'
make: *** [build-static-stamp] Error 2

This is caused by the following code in configure:

...
            if test -r /etc/.relid -a "X`uname -n`" = "X`uname -s`" ; then
                system=MP-RAS-`awk '{print }' /etc/.relid'`
            fi
...

The problem is the extraneous apostrophe after relid on the middle
line.  If I remove this apostrophe, the package build completes
successfully.

(Note that the same faulty code is also causing problems in tcl8.* and
tk8.*.)
