libidn2, Solaris 11.3, and libtool error

[Jeffrey Walton]

I'm in the process of building libidn2 for libraries required by Git.
It looks like libtool is having a little trouble, and the process ends
with:

    ./libtool[1086]: eval: syntax error at line 1: `|' unexpected

Unfortunately, I'm not an Autotools guy, so I cannot be of much help
with matters involving libtool. However, I can provide remote access
to the machine if I have an authorized_keys file.

About the only thing special I did was set MAKE=gmake.

--no-check-certificate -O libidn2-0.16.tar.gz
tar -xzf libidn2-0.16.tar.gz
cd libidn2-0.16
LIBS="-ldl -lpthread" ./configure --enable-shared
--prefix="/usr/local" --libdir="/usr/local/lib64"
gmake -j 4
