Re: [GNU Autoconf 2.68.147-cca28] testsuite: 100 failed

[Paul Eggert]

Thanks, I had already found that independently, and I
fixed that by pushing the following:

tests: port AS_TR_SH and AS_TR_CPP test to Solaris 8 wc
* tests/m4sh.at (AS@&address@hidden and AS@&address@hidden): Do not assume
that "wc -l" outputs only digits; on Solaris 8 it also outputs
blanks and POSIX allows this.
