Hmm, according to Sven Maschecks pages, both of these should have at least one shell with functions. Does the shell function spy trigger on these? (To test, you can create a minimal configure.ac consisting solely of AC_INIT and AC_OUTPUT, run CVS autoconf over it and run the resulting configure script on those systems.) Is there good shell/systems documentation for these systems online? > If this shell configures with auto*, there is also a bootstrap problem. Yep.
