Hi Jacob,
If I remember correctly, on some systems, the /bin/sh shell does not
have command(1) as a builtin, but a "command" executable exists on the
filesystem.
Good memory :). Indeed, this is the case on Solaris 10, at least the one
on cfarm.
cfarm210$ type command
command is hashed (/usr/bin/command)
Either a command or builtin should be fine for Kamila's purposes.
As long as `make dist-XYZ` will always either produce the "XYZ" dist
or fail, we probably do not need to worry about this edge case.
I agree. --thanks, karl.
