Few failures on OpenSolaris, attached logs from 5.10 and 5.11, i386 and sparc.

On 5.11 (both i386 and sparc) many failures seem related shell usage (e.g. "local: not 
found", hinting and bash-ism  and "expr: synyax error").

On the sparc machine, the interactive shell is bash but "/bin/sh" is ksh:

    > ls -l /bin/sh
    lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          13 Jan 22 14:36 /bin/sh -> 
sparcv7/ksh93

Also,

Sadly numfmt fails on all of them, with something like this:
    $ ./src/numfmt --to=si 4000
    0K

Using debug gives:
    $ ./src/numfmt ---debug --to=si 2000
    setting Auto-Padding to 0 characters
    simple_strtod_human:
      input string: ‘2000’
      locale decimal-point: ‘.’
      MAX_UNSCALED_DIGITS: 18
      parsed numeric value: 2000.000000
      input precision = 0
      suffix power=1000^0 = 1.000000
      returning value: 2000.000000 (2000)
    double_to_human:
      scaled value to 2.000000 * 1000 ^ 1
      after rounding, value=2.000000 * 1000 ^ 1
      returning value: ‘NaNK’
    formatting output:
      value: 2000.000000
      humanized: ‘NaNK’
    NaNK

Which hints the problem is in numfmt.c:797, perhaps the system's "snprintf" can't handle the format 
"%.*Lf" correctly with "long double" ?

I'll have more test results from other OSes tomorrow.
