Recent patches break Solaris

[Kevin Benton]

Not to mention

if test $foo = no; then

is a serious security hole.  It should be re-written as 

if test "$foo" = no; then

to prevent carefully crafted security hacks.  It's also commonly acceptable
(and often more readable) to write...

if [ "$foo" = no ]; then

Subject: Recent patches break Solaris


The recent batches of checkins broke the build on Solaris
(yet again!).  I'm in the process of fixing it (yet again!)
but would appreciate it if people were more careful when
testing a patch.

In particular, this is _NOT_ valid sh syntax:
        if test $foo=no; then

it needs to be:
        if test $foo = no; then

Yes, the spaces actually matter!  I'll check in a patch for this soon.
However...  There also appears to be a problem in that on Solaris it's
trying to libk agains libc-missing.a, but said lib does not exist....
This is REALLY REALLY broken!  BLAH!
