Solaris 10, SPARC
gcc (GCC) 3.4.6
/bin/sh is the Bourne shell
/bin/bash is the Bourne again shell

    ...
    ./identify.sh: test: argument expected
    make[1]: *** [identify-me] Error 1

Hi Claude,

We are working on the next release (4.8.0).  We currently have a third
release candidate.  We don't intend to release 4.7.0.7, unless some
critical bug shows up in 4.7.0.6 and we have some hard-to-fix release
blocker for 4.8.0.

So, I think we should actually test
http://code.call-cc.org/dev-snapshots/2012/08/31/chicken-4.8.0rc3.tar.gz
instead of 4.7.0.6.

Thanks for all your reports.

Best wishes.
Mario
