Ah-ha! For some reason your /bin/sh doesn't support += and my Solaris 10 
machine's /bin/sh
does (maybe we have some peculiar links set up to save tripping over things 
while package
building or something?), and when the test tries to find the += enhanced 
func_append,
the sed expression fails and ends up splicing the whole of libtool into the 
test :-o

I've added a skip to cover that case in the last commit.  Thanks for the report!

Cheers,
