No, don't, you'd waste your time. Thanks!
Let solve your issues one by one. Frankly, the fact that the results
are different with different shells is just the same thing as having
two different results with a single shell. Anyway the testsuite
always runs with /bin/sh, so let's forget completely about this.
Remains a big problem: the test suite is not deterministic on your
system. Is it sane? Have you already tried to install a sane GNU
package on it? Does it work properly? Was Autoconf built on the same
machine too? Is it in /tmp or through NFS?
Let's address one issue at a time. Currently there is one thing I
want to understand and reproduce: your exit 255.
Please, try this:
cat >configure.in <<'_ATEOF'
AC_INIT
AC_CONFIG_FILES([nonexistent])
AC_OUTPUT
_ATEOF
~autoconf/autoconf -A ~autoconf
sh -x ./configure >big.log 2>&1
Thanks!
