    Ravi> thanks in advance,

I suspect that you have run configure inside the source tree. This is
discouraged, instead it is recommended that you use a separate build
tree as per the host/README file. For our internal builds we always
use a separate build tree, keeping the source tree clean and thus
avoiding lots of CVS noise.

The problem with hosttest.exp was reported a while back, but IIRC only
happened if you ran "make clean". I have not yet tracked down exactly
what is causing it or how to fix it: it is low priority because it
does not affect the way we build things internally. Restoring the
file as recommended by John Gumb would sort out the problem.
