Hi Ralf,

This is a good workaround,
libtool will be build with /usr/local/bin/bash
as interpreter and all tests will pass.

I followed your hint to use CONFIG_SHELL=...
and checked libtool on other systems than
the prevously tested solaris 2.6 and 2.7 systems.
Result: libtool-1.5.10 quote.test also fails with
other versions/clones of ksh. I have checked so far
* FreeBSD 4.11-Prerelease / KSH93
 CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/local/bin/ksh93 ./configure
* Linux / PD KSH v5.2.14 99/07/13.2
 CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/bin/ksh ./configure
The symptoms are the same as I described earlier:

all other tests pass.

Maybe interesing: on Linux / PD KSH v5.2.14 99/07/13.2
libtool-1.4.3 quote.test fails on 
mode { compile, link, install } and quoting { \\ }

= trying: no quoting
