[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

On Solaris 11.4, the "gmake check" command in automake-1.16j appears to hang.
Using 'truss', I found that it invokes
  /usr/bin/lex --version
and that command reads from standard input:

  $ /usr/bin/lex --version
  lex: Software Generation Utilities (SGU) Solaris-ELF (4.0)
  _

The attached proposed patch fixes it.

With the '$LEX --version' hang fixed, I get the attached log, with the
following failures:

You can ignore:
  - The failure of t/gettext-external-pr338 because I have an unreleased
    version of gettext on that machine, which has a dysfunctional 'autopoint'
    program.
  - The failures of *lex*, because that old version of 'lex' is not worth
    supporting.
  - The failures of subpkg*, because Solaris 'make' makes wrong variable
    substitutions in VPATH builds (well-known).

      /usr/bin/lex --version
    and that command reads from standard input:

Thanks Bruno. I installed the patch.

As for the other (non-ignored) failures, here and in your other reports
today ... I can't get far with such system-dependent failures. Any
chance you have time to delve into them? I know that's asking a lot.
I will look at the logs, but have little confidence I'll have any ideas
for fixes. --thanks, karl.
