[Bug java/30838] New: test -ef does not exist under sh

[kenta at mit dot edu]

The file "libjava/classpath/lib/gen-classlist.sh.in", which apparantly
generates
"sparc-sun-solaris2.10/sparcv9/libjava/classpath/lib/gen-classlist.sh", has at
line 58

if test ! "${top_builddir}" -ef "@top_srcdir@"; then

However, the "-ef" operator is not supported by the sh shell under Solaris
(which is the shell specified by the shbang at the head of the generated file),
as documented on man test(1).  (It is supported under bash, and /usr/bin/test
seems to supported it, too, at least in my installation.)

------- Comment #1 from pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org  2007-02-18 02:10 -------
You did not read the installation instructions which mentions you need to set
CONFIG_SHELL for solaris.
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#x-x-solaris2

The Solaris 2 /bin/sh will often fail to configure libstdc++-v3, boehm-gc or
libjava. We therefore recommend using the following initial sequence of
commands

        % CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh
        % export CONFIG_SHELL

If you read the man page for test, you will see -ef is POSIX but just not
supported by solaris's non POSIX supporting /bin/sh.
