[tex-live] sparc-solaris-2.8 build problems with texinfo

Hi Karl,

The auto* run was done by make when it hit the texinfo directory. Why,
I do not know...

Anyway, I found the problem.  I am using ac 2.5.7 and am 1.7.6.  The
problem is in aclocal.m4, line 1083:

AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE(fcntl.h sys/time.h unistd.h)

Looks like the definition of AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE is screwed up, or
the invocation of it is screwed up.  Are the arguments supposed to be
comma delimited?  If I comment that line out, the automake/autoconf
runs go w/o a hitch.

Enjoying this hot, humid New England weather?  Its steamy down here
in Providence.

Tom
