Thanks!

Unfortunately, the testsuite is failing:

Spawning "/home/bje/source/dejagnu/dejagnu --DGTimpl sh" ...
Expecting to match {} ...
Exit code 2; output {/home/bje/source/dejagnu/dejagnu: 146: shift: can't shift 
that many}
FAIL: have shell, always

It works here... looks like a portability problem... what shell is your /bin/sh?

Try this patch:

A close reading of POXIX (<URL:http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/shift.html>) indicates that shift is not permitted if the argument list is empty.
