So I have a few further questions. What is /bin/bash --version echo $PATH type mkdir expr dirname basename dirname is apparently the issue. I had an old dirname shell script lying around from 1989 in my path (version 1.5). It worked well enough for the old 2.59 configure, but not for the new one which seems to use a new construction "dirname -- ..." I moved away the shell script, so now gnu dirname is available, and then the new configure works fine, and 5.96 builds, even passes most tests. FAIL: symlink-slash ====================================== 1 of 21 tests failed (3 tests were not run) Sorry to bother you with a local environment problem.
