Hi!

When running the self tests on NetBSD (8.99.27/amd64) with perl
5.28.1, I see 26 test failures.

The log is attached.

Cheers,
 Thomas

from the log:

this seems to be due to install-sh being used over normal mkdir -p.  but
that should be fine by itself ... it seems you have a weird /bin/sh ?  it
is causing errors that shouldn't happen.  the output makes it look like
things are underquoted, but i checked the script and ran it locally, and
it looks fine to me.

these are all some variation of:

more install-sh weirdness

Hi Mike!

Thanks for looking at this.

I've re-run the tests for 1.16.5 on NetBSD 9.99.93/amd64 with perl 5.34.0 and now get

============================================================================
Testsuite summary for GNU Automake 1.16.5
============================================================================
# TOTAL: 2980
# PASS:  2815
# SKIP:  103
# XFAIL: 39
# FAIL:  23
# XPASS: 0
# ERROR: 0

with a quite different set of errors.
I'll attach it.
 Thomas

your texinfo is old & known to be broken.  i thought i saw this recently, but
i can't find the bug/reference.  maybe it's been fixed in git.

looks like your host's libobjc.so is broken.  i don't think this is something
we should try and deal with.
