Hello,
I was ran into a wired issue when running `bootstrap` on solaris10 with
bash-3.00,
bash-3.00# ./bootstrap
./bootstrap: syntax error at line 328: `p1=$' unexpected
bash-3.00# uname -a
SunOS pibroch 5.10 Generic_142910-17 i86pc i386 i86pc
Coreutils is cloned from upstream, I am intend to try it on Solaris for sparse
file copy through lseek.
Best Regards,
-Jeff

Jeff confirmed that using bash worked around the problem,
so I'm closing this.
