This seems to be a problem with non bash shells expanding
string comparisons wrong.
ie we need to write "test x$foo = xyes" instead of
"test $foo = yes" .
There are places (both in our configure.ac and in gnulib - in
particular the include_next module) where this is not happening.
I sent a patch to the gnulib list partially fixing the
problem, but unfortunately got a somewhat aggressive response
- "We cant apply patches that make things less reliable".
I don't know why they think it would do that. I've not
found a sufficient length of time where I've been in the
correct mood to compose a reply yet.

Does the same thing happen with the latest tarball from
http://benpfaff.org/~blp/pspp-master/ also?
This is on OpenBSD, correct?
