| Both start:-
| 
| #! /bin/sh
| 
| and I do have a /bin/sh.exe on the current drive.
| 
| BTW autom4te starts like this:-
| 
| 
| #! c:/usr/bin/perl.exe -w
| # -*- perl -*-
| # @configure_input@
| 
| eval 'exec c:/usr/bin/perl.exe -S $0 ${1+"$@"}'
|     if 0;
| 
| 
| BEGIN
| {
|   my $datadir = ($ENV{'autom4te_perllibdir'} || 
'c:/usr/local/share/autoconf');
|   unshift @INC, "$datadir";
| }
|

| Don't know if this is what you might expect...

It is (but the broken comment).  You are on your own: for some reason,
someone is not found.  You have to find who.  It is because of OS/2,
not Autoconf.  Try adding -x a bit everywhere, and see where the
process is stuck.
