Subject: tests: fix AC_CACHE_CHECK to skip with bad shells.
X-Git-Tag: v2.68~54
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9b7d0212e792d6cd5e5c447dc8696efd4da67a91;p=thirdparty%2Fautoconf.git

tests: fix AC_CACHE_CHECK to skip with bad shells.

* tests/base.at (AC_CACHE_CHECK): Skip test with malformed
config.site file if the shell does not report syntax errors
from a sourced file.  Fixes test failure on AIX and FreeBSD.
Report from Rainer Tammer.
