[Bug binutils/3017] New: binutils/doc/Makefile.in uses syntax not accepted by solaris /bin/sh

[amylaar at gcc dot gnu dot org]

After applying the patch for PR 2993, the build fails a bit later:

Making info in doc
rm -f config.texi
eval `grep '^ *VERSION=' 
../../../src-20060809/binutils/doc/../../bfd/configure`; \
  echo "@set VERSION $VERSION" > config.texi
echo "@set UPDATED `date "+%B %Y"`" >> config.texi
sh: : cannot execute
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `config.texi'

AFAICT the solaris /bin/sh doesn't consider "s as properly nested inside `s.

$ echo "@set UPDATED `date "+%B %Y"`"
: cannot execute
@set UPDATED August %Y
$ echo "@set UPDATED `date '+%B %Y'`"
@set UPDATED August 2006
