Hi,

I am currrently trying to compile GNU patch 2.6 on Solaris 10 x86 with
Sun Studio 12 and have encountered the following problems:

- It is assumed that SHELL is a bash:

lcsw% gmake
./update-version.sh: syntax error at line 24: `(' unexpected

  Executing 'gmake SHELL=bash' works however.

- It is expected that strndup is there, which is not the case on Solaris:
    <http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/gnulib/strndup.html>
  I would recommend pulling the substitute in from GNULib.


To ensure future compatibility with Solaris I can offer an account on
the OpenCSW buildfarm as some GNU projects already use it:
<http://www-mockup.opencsw.org/extend-it/signup/to-upstream-maintainers/ >
The farm is equipped with all production versions of Solaris and all
relevant compilers.


Best regards
