Hello,
  I have just adviced a project to use

var=`"$srcdir/cmd" "prm"`

instead of

var="`"$srcdir/cmd" "prm"`"

The manual states that some shells misinterpret the latter, in
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/Shell-Substitutions.html

Does anyone here know which shells contain this bug?
Are they extinct these days or is it Solaris?

Thanks
Stepan
