Thanks for the patch.  I applied it locally, rebuilt, and ran the
testsuite again.

Unfortunately, it doesn't resolve the issue.

I think you are correct, in identifying the problem as being related
to my /usr/local/share/config.site -- if I move it out of the way, then
I see:

## ------------- ##
## Test results. ##
## ------------- ##

282 tests behaved as expected.
4 tests were skipped.

which I presume to be correct behaviour.

FWIW, my /usr/local/share/config.site contains exactly this,
(and no more):

$ cat /usr/local/share/config.site
ac_default_prefix=`exec 2>/dev/null; cd /usr && pwd -W`/local

which resolves, on this Win2K + MSYS box, to:

$ echo ac_default_prefix=`exec 2>/dev/null; cd /usr && pwd -W`/local
ac_default_prefix=D:/MSYS/1.0/local

Updated testsuite log files, from the run after patching, and with
/usr/local/share/config.site in place, are attached.  Note that they
still show references to loading my config.site file, and that
test 95 still fails.

Regards,
Keith.
