Ash indeed.

Not much to trace (plus currently data exchange with the minix box is
somewhat difficult). It's just that the expression matches. But I now
see this indeed is an issue with ash. I'll try linking /bin/sh
to /usr/local/bin/bash and see if that fixes my issue. Most likely :-) .

No libtool version. There's no libtool installed on Minix. These are
just the libtool scripts generated by the configure scripts in gettext.
build-aux/ltmain.sh being written to ofile (with the name libtool).

Yes. I agree. Forget my patch, it was mostly an indication of the
location where I was having problems.

Porting libtool to Minix is not my current objective. I'm trying to port
the midnight commander. Thus far I've succeeded in builing it's build
requirements (libiconv, gettext and glib).

Thanks,
Leonard.
