Hi, I have two failing tests for GNU grep 2.16 on Solaris 10 Sparc with Sun Studio 12: http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/~dam/grep-2.16-test-suite.log Both boil down to the error + /bin/sh ere.script ere.script: syntax error at line 3: `status=$’ unexpected generated from bre.awk using the bashism printf ("status=$(echo '%s' | { grep -e '%s' > /dev/null 2>&1; echo $? ; })\n",$3, $2); Best regards — Dago -- "You don't become great by trying to be great, you become great by wanting to do something, and then doing it so hard that you become great in the process." - xkcd #896
