Follow-up Comment #2, sr #111321 (group autoconf):

Checking back with dash-0.5.12, it appears automake 1.18 introduced an issue,
so that no dash 0.5.12-0.5.13 commit builds successfully, with autoreconf
config.status terminating after
...
esac
ac_sed_extra="

>> EOF<<

and all builds now failing with:

$ tail ko/dash-0.5.13-3.x86_64/log/dash-0.5.13-3-compile.log
checking for signal... yes
checking whether stat64 is declared... no
checking for glob64... no
checking for open64... no
checking for stat::st_mtim... yes
configure: updating cache config.cache
checking that generated files are newer than configure... done
configure: creating ./config.status
./config.status: 664: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
*** ERROR: configure failed

Likely the autoreconfig with recently updated automake 1.18 using existing
/usr/share/autoconf/autoconf/status.m4 stanza:

# Neutralize VPATH when `$srcdir' = `.'.
# Shell code in configure.ac might set extrasub.
# FIXME: do we really want to maintain this feature?
cat >>$CONFIG_STATUS <<_ACEOF || ac_write_fail=1
ac_sed_extra="$ac_vpsub
$extrasub
_ACEOF
cat >>$CONFIG_STATUS <<\_ACEOF || ac_write_fail=1

[/@[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z_0-9]*@/!b]
dnl configure_input is a somewhat special, so we don't call AC_SUBST_TRACE.
dnl Note if you change the s||| delimiter here, don't forget to adjust
dnl ac_sed_conf_input accordingly.  Using & is a bad idea if & appears in
dnl the replacement string.
s|@configure_input@|$ac_sed_conf_input|;t t
dnl During the transition period, this is a special case:
s&@top_builddir@&$ac_top_builddir_sub&;t t[]AC_SUBST_TRACE([top_builddir])
dnl For this substitution see the witness macro _AC_HAVE_TOP_BUILD_PREFIX
above.
s&@top_build_prefix@&$ac_top_build_prefix&;t
t[]AC_SUBST_TRACE([top_build_prefix])
m4_map_args_sep([$0_ADJUST_DIR(], [)], [
], [srcdir], [abs_srcdir], [top_srcdir], [abs_top_srcdir],
   [builddir], [abs_builddir],
   [abs_top_builddir]AC_PROVIDE_IFELSE([AC_PROG_INSTALL],
     [, [INSTALL]])AC_PROVIDE_IFELSE([AC_PROG_MKDIR_P], [, [MKDIR_P]]))
m4_ifndef([AC_DATAROOTDIR_CHECKED], [$ac_datarootdir_hack
])dnl
"

to generate config.status ending with an unterminated string where that _ACEOF
line appears.
