Sorry for the delay on my end, had to get some products out the door!


With /bin/bash.exe copied to /bin/sh.exe, the test result is:            
   *** CREATE configure.ac ***
   *** GENERATE configure ***
   Running using function ccjfail()...
   *** TEST 0 ***
   *** TEST 0 FAILS ***
   configure: error: invalid feature name: multilib

Running again:
   Running using function ccjfail()...
   *** TEST 0 ***
   *** TEST 1 ***
   *** TEST 2 ***
   *** TEST 3 ***
   *** TEST 4 ***
   *** TEST 5 ***
   *** TEST 6 ***
   *** TEST 7 ***
   *** TEST 8 ***
   *** TEST 9 ***
   *** TEST 10 ***
   *** TEST 11 ***
   *** TEST 12 ***
   *** TEST 12 FAILS ***
   configure: error: invalid variable name: build_alias
   
Once more:
   Running using function ccjfail()...
   *** TEST 0 ***
   *** TEST 1 ***
   *** TEST 2 ***
   *** TEST 3 ***
   *** TEST 4 ***
   *** TEST 5 ***

   *** TEST 11 ***
   *** TEST 12 ***
   *** TEST 13 ***
   *** TEST 13 FAILS ***
   configure: error: invalid feature name: multilib   


Trying with /bin/ash.exe copied to /bin/sh.exe:
   *** CREATE configure.ac ***

   *** TEST 6 ***
   *** TEST 7 ***
   *** TEST 8 ***
   *** TEST 9 ***
   *** TEST 9 FAILS ***

Again:

I'll try to grab the snapshot and test again shortly.
