Bug Description
Binary package hint: autoconf2.64
Some versions of the ash shell will not allow redirection to a stream number held in a variable:
# This construct does not work in some versions of the ash shell
echo $1 >&$2
The autoconf tool sometimes generates scripts using this construct, The following is an example of a code snippet using this construct in a configure script:
if test "$3"; then as_lineno=
as_
$as_echo "$as_me:
fi
(I think this is coming from the _AS_ECHO_LOG macro).
Mark.
