When trying DejaGnu 1.6.3 rc1 on Solaris 10, it failed immediately with:
runtest: syntax error at line 43: `execpath=$' unexpected
The script hardcodes #!/bin/sh, but the Solaris 10 /bin/sh is
effectively the old Bourne Shell and doesn't support $().
There are several options, I believe:
* Substitute a shell that does (like /bin/ksh in the Solaris 10 case).
* Rework the script to avoid the construct.
* Give up in horror and declare Solaris 10 unsupported, preferably with
a decent error message at configure time.
