autoconf test suite: 27 failed

[Dominique Leuenberger]

good day everybody,

I have a autoconf 2.63 compiled and make check seems to pass perfectly, with 
the exception of test 27.

Any help/tips/tricks that can be given to find out what's going wrong and why?
Dominique

The testsuite.log contains:
