OK, thanks, I think I may have figured it out: you're using
/usr/posix/bin/sh and it's buggy.
I have installed the following patch to GNU Autoconf to try to squash
this one. The area is kind of messy, but I guess it's better to let
the OSF and Unixware folks figure out how to build than to hurt
everyone else.

* doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Autoconf-generated
shell scripts no longer export BIN_SH, due to configuration
hassles with this. See, for example, Tonya Underwood's report
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-10/msg00003.html>.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE): Don't set BIN_SH
or DUALCASE.
(_AS_DETECT_BETTER_SHELL): Don't look in /usr/bin/posix.
Use AS_EXECUTABLE_P rather than test -f.
(AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Set DUALCASE.
(AS_EXECUTABLE_P): Just invoke as_executable_p.
(_AS_TEST_PREPARE): Default to test -f, rather than to nothing.
