Hi,

I'm trying to build the latest stable/stable from Git
(045ca9fad936c657356f8f237beea2ba6df70392) on Debian buster/testing.
Building from a clean Git tree gives me the following error:

Setting up configuration options ... done
Joining in ./make.rc ... ERROR: invalid syntax in: # Add support for
history management.                                                        
ERROR: invalid syntax in: # Add support for `(un)?bind'ing of key

mk/make-config.sh: 77: .obj/___tmp122378: Syntax error: EOF in backquote
substitution                                                           
makefile:22: recipe for target 'config' failed
make: *** [config] Error 1

There are no logs or anything in .obj/ that I can see so presumably this is
failing early in the 'config' target.

Going on the "invalid syntax" messages, if I remove the indentation in
make.rc on the lines it complains about then that problem goes away, but I
still get the "Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution".

I've also tried on Debian stable to rule out any weirdness in current
testing and get the same result.

Any ideas?

BTW, the reason I'm building stable/stable as opposed to just using the
version packaged in Debian buster (14.9.11) is that version gives me a
bunch of MIME-related errors when loading my Dovecot-hosted IMAP mailboxes.
Is this a known problem?

Thanks,

Martin
