Did you try with plain old bourne shell?  I agree that filing a bug and 
adding a note about it to the release notes is fine.  However, Reid 
mentioned that it should be trivial to fix for someone with configure 
experience... ;-)

I think that shipping with them is fine.  Unfortunately, until Sparc 
has a platform maintainer/champion, it will continue to suffer.  If people 
are interested in Sparc, fixing bugs at the beginning of the 1.7 cycle 
would make sense.

What is left before 1.6 can ship?

Thanks John and Tanya!
