[Bug-AUCTeX] 2005-06-05; Make error with --disable-preview and MSYS

[Ralf Angeli]

After doing `./configure [...] --disable-preview' the `make' call will
abort with an error in an MSYS shell:

if test x != x; then OLDPWD="`pwd`";for i in ;do cd $i;echo "Descending into 
`pwd`";make 'DESTDIR=' PACKAGE=auctex all || exit $?;cd $OLDPWD;echo "Ascending 
into $OLDPWD";done;fi
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `;d'
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: `if test x != x; then OLDPWD="`pwd`";for i in ;do cd 
$i;echo "Descending into `pwd`";make 'DESTDIR=' PACKAGE=auctex all || exit 
$?;cd $OLDPWD;echo "Ascending into $OLDPWD";done;fi'
make: *** [all] Error 2


$subdirs obviously is empty in this case and the shell chokes on
for i in ;do ...;done
constructs.

I don't know how to fix this because even wrapping this call into a
if test x$(subdirs) != x;then ...;fi
conditional did not help.
