Nothing. The test is coded incorrectly. Or at least the shell being used 
doesn't like it.  The "bad substitution" message comes from the shell executing 
the configure script while its trying to figure out how to access the f2c 
program.   I take it you're running this on a sparc machine.  The logic seems 
to work okay on Linux but it uses bash. Probably there is some bash specific 
logic in the configure script that sh doesn't like.
