As I said before: this looks like a problem with the shell interpreter.
The ksh binaries that are available on hobbes and leo don't work properly.
Since this is for Lynx, I just put a copy of the ksh, m4 binaries as well
as a snapshot of autoconf on sol.slcc.edu

        http://www.slcc.edu/lynx/current/os2/os2emx.zip

(Ripoll was, the last I knew, making further changes in autoconf, but
those are not tested with ncurses or lynx).
