Description Brian Landers 2002-02-07 16:55:33 AEDT 
Unable to run even 'configure --help' on Solaris 8:

bash-2.04# pwd
/sw/build/openssh-3.0.2p1

bash-2.04# uname -a
SunOS hardcase 5.8 Generic_108528-03 sun4u sparc

bash-2.04# ./configure
./configure: syntax error at line 53: `else' unexpected


Explicitly running configure under bash gets a bit farther, but still fails:

bash-2.04# bash ./configure
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for executable suffix... 
checking for object suffix... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh ./config.sub

Works fine here.
SunOS sun1 5.8 Generic_108528-09 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-5

Perhaps it's time to load a new patch cluster from sun.
