	This is also fixed by generating configure with autoconf-2.12.1
or later.  We've been doing this in the mainline for a long time, I'm
surprised the 1.1.x branch didn't use it.  BTW its been enforced since
November via AC_PREREQ() so its pretty safe.

Use bash.

Hmm, will this still work as expected? In the diff from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2pre2 
I noticed some entries like below in the texinfo subdir.

This is a bug in the hpux shell.  It only effects building of the config.cache
file.

I believe if you set CONFIG_SHELL and/or SHELL in your environment will work
around this bug.

Yep, this is only for configure time.

I don't think this would be a problem, but it's strange that automake
1.3 does not use @SHELL@ as defined by configure...  Well, most
commands it runs are so simple that it shouldn't matter.

This is a bug in the hpux shell.  It only effects building of the config.cache
file.

I believe if you set CONFIG_SHELL and/or SHELL in your environment will work
around this bug.

Possible egcs-1.1.2-pre2 configure problem on HP-UX 9.04

[rodneybrown]

Configuring on HP-UX 9.04 gave a 'sh internal 2K buffer overflow' - the build
seems to be
running and pre1 worked ok. I tried changing the etc/configure to run using
#!/bin/ksh to 
no avail. Nor did reducing the size of the cat <<EOF which seemed to match the
message.
Second output is from a captured run with -x turned on.
configure is stressing older shells & O/Ses - gdb-4.17 and gcc-2.8.1 won't host
on SCO-3.2.4 => COFF because of 4k limits in command line + environment passed
to subprocesses, 
but I haven't seen this before on HP-UX.
