The ash-0.3.8-20 package of Fedora Core 3 unsets $IFS upon startup. This exposed a flaw in Libtool[1] (and it is a bug in ash as their documentation claims otherwise). Autoconf might thus want to consider putting its | # IFS | # We need space, tab and new line, in precisely that order. | as_nl=' | ' | IFS=" $as_nl" not only in AS_PREPARE, but also in AS_SHELL_SANITIZE.
