bug#17774: AIX and lbracket ([) program - will not install on AIX using installp |

I know now why I am still using version 8-15
1. I never tried 8.16
2. since version 8.17 (or 16 which I never tried) lbracket gets linked as
the program [
Now, except that I would have a terrible time entering that as a command,
as is it a special character for ksh, and I would think bash the additional
problem with
[ as a commandname, or even as a character in a command name - AIX does not
permit files in an installp package are refused when they include certain
special characters (: and the square brackets I am sure of, there are
probably more).
So, while it is a valid filename - I, personally, see it as an extremely
non-portable command name.
If someone, after installation, would want to create a hardlink to that
name - great. But to have a name like that, I must be too old fashioned -
where is the win? typing
/usr/bin/\[ gets me what?
regards,
Michael
p.s. hints on how to massage Makefile is fine. Not trying to save the world
here :)
