Hi Jacob,
On Solaris 10, /bin/sh is a non-POSIX
shell and fails to execute config.guess because POSIX "$(...)" command
Yeah. It's been reported wrt config.{guess,sub} several times before,
but Dmitry has not replied, so I can only surmise that he does not want
to keep portability with Solaris 10 (unfortunately IMHO).
and would be willing to write a patch for config.guess and possibly
config.sub to restore portability if that patch would be acceptable.
I hope he replies now and says yes! --thanks, karl.
