Yup. A bash bug?
/bin/sh (aka bash) version 2.03.8 on RH6.1 vs. 2.05.1 on MD8.1. It isn't sed, which is at version 3.02 on both.
Hmm, a bash bug?
Could be a test problem as well. Line 1451 in configure currently reads if test -z "$OPT" My guess that this is where the environment setting is overwritten. Just put echo "Current value of OPT is x${OPT}x" before this test, and echo "New value of OPT is x${OPT}x" after the if statement. Actually, after re-reading the autoconf documentation, I think I see what's happending. $OPT starts with a - (HYPHEN MINUS), so test treats it as an option. Please try replacing the test with if test ${OPT+set} != set HTH, Martin
