commit d939b819cb67d420eaffe4899aff29310aa15fdd
Author: Gavin Smith <gavinsmith0123@gmail.com>

    No 'local' in shell script
    
    * install-info/tests/defs.in (findprog): Remove use of
    'local' for saving the value of IFS (input field separator).
    On Solaris 10 there is a warning "local: not found" and it
    is likely stopping IFS from being reset correctly, leading
    to subsequent errors.
