It's pretty ironic that a Solaris shell should warn about `...`, with Autoconf using 
that construct mostly because shells like Solaris <=10 /bin/sh does not cope with 
$(...).  Oh well.  Can the shell be told to not output these warnings somehow?  I took a 
quick look at <http://dlc.sun.com/osol/man/downloads/current/> but couldn't find a 
switch or environment variable to do so.

I assume that this OpenSolaris system has the "new" ksh93 shell, which is 
vastly different than previous Solaris /bin/sh and includes much more than a shell (it is 
a shell + utilities).  The project page for this is at

 http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+ksh93%2Dintegration/

Yes, it appears so. It links to a file ksh93.

bash-3.2$ ls -l /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          13 Oct 26 17:20 /bin/sh -> ../../sbin/sh
bash-3.2$ ls -l /sbin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          20 Oct 26 17:17 /sbin/sh -> 
../usr/bin/i86/ksh93

But ksh93 does not complain about `...`, on neither X86, nor Sparc Solaris, 
look:

[r...@nostromo ~]# sed -n -e 1p -e \$p /etc/release
                 Solaris Express Community Edition snv_122 SPARC
                            Assembled 24 August 2009
[r...@nostromo ~]# /usr/bin/ksh93
r...@nostromo:~# echo =`sleep 1`=
==
r...@nostromo:~#

It looks like something goes wrong in other place.
