Solaris 8 /bin/sh rejects "read < /dev/tty" as a shell syntax error.
Here's a patch to gettext 0.11.4 (already patched by your previous message).
Also, can you please add an option to gettextize to allow me to bypass
this attempt to read from /dev/tty? It makes it hard to automate
bootstrapping Bison, where I'd rather just go ahead without reading
from /dev/tty. Thanks.

* misc/gettextize.in: Use "read dummy < /dev/tty" to work around
a compatibility glitch with Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
