Re: Failed testcases for automake-1.6 on sparc-linux

automake-1.6.1 passes the testsuite on my sparc-linux box. Some other
anomalies:

1. It installs itself as automake-1.6, not as automake-1.6.1.

2. ./configure && make didn't work on a Solaris system. The generated
   Makefile sets SHELL=/bin/bash, and then make fails with

/bin/bash: $2: unbound variable
make: *** [check-recursive] Error 127

appearantly because of the construction

$(RECURSIVE_TARGETS):
        @set fnord $$MAKEFLAGS; amf=$$2; \

where the shell refuses to expand $2. make SHELL=/bin/sh works,
though.

3. On the same Solaris system, three testcases failed: confsub.test,
   pr287.test and subdirbuiltsources.test.
