top-level configure is broken
The top-level configure script in the RC1.34.0 release
is broken.
This script starts out as:
#!/bin/sh
which implies that it is a Bourne-shell script.
But now almost all of tests in the file have been
converted to look like the following:
220 if test "x$LIBDIR" == x; then
221 LIBDIR="$EPREFIX/lib"
222 fi
where (in 1.33.1) they used to look like this:
217 if test "x$LIBDIR" = "x" ; then
218 LIBDIR="$EPREFIX/lib"
219 fi
The problem is that "==" is not a valid Bourne-shell
test-command operator, so the entire build breaks
immediately on any platform which uses a true
Bourne shell as sh.
The fix is to either convert all of these operators
to "=", or to stop claiming the script is a Bourne
shell script and use "#!/bin/bash" instead. But the
latter approach is not recommended because there are
many older machines without bash in that location.
