   in rcs 5.9.1 build-aux/extract-help uses a bash-specific construct,
   but has a sh hashbang.  The grep command may return 1 which aborts
   the execution of the script in sh, but not bash.  Forcing the
   returncode to true fixes the issue as in this patch: [...]

   The issue occurred when compiling on Solaris 10 Sparc with Sun Studio 12.

Thanks for reporting this.  Is this behavior w/ Solaris /bin/sh
controlled by the "set -e" at the beginning of the script?  That is,
does simply removing the "set -e" achieve the same effect as adding
"; true" to the inside-backtick command?
