Since I am unable to reproduce those failures,
I suspect that some of the implied `-4mdk' changes
introduced the problem.
Would you please build from *unmodified* sources?

It's strange that the above generates no output,
but the one below does.
Please use /usr/bin/[ or ./[ in such tests.
Then we won't have to wonder about your $PATH.
