You were right -- and yes, it was _really_ stupid. I had a function in
.bashrc to set the window title to the CWD and it left some garbage in
config.status . I removed the offending function and R now seems to be
building normally. Odd that it hasn't broken a build before .....

.... but /bin/sh did At least one program (and I can't recall which)
wouldn't build on Solaris until I forced it to use bash instead of
/bin/sh. But that wasn't the problem here (even though configure had
chosen to use /bin/sh and not /bin/ksh).

Bah. Sorry to bother everyone and many thanks for the help.
