OK, I think I traced this to the fact that "test" on Solaris with the
Bourne shell will be the built-in one which doesn't understand the
-nt operator. Of course my own test builds used /bin/bash...

This is likely not a portable fix, but could you just for verification
try replacing test with /bin/test in the Makefile in tests/Examples?
