patch for automake-1.8.5

[Marion Hakanson]

Folks,

When running "make check" for automake-1.8.5, on SPARC/Solaris-9,
there are 8 test failures.  One of them, "conflnk3", is due to the
"test -e" functionality being missing from /bin/sh -- not much can
be done about that except to use /bin/bash instead.

However, the other 7 tests which fail do so because they are unable
to find the "aclocal-1.8" or "automake-1.8" commands which are part
of what's being tested.  I traced this to the PATH setting in tests/defs.in
not being exported into the environment.  Applying this patch allows
all of the 7 tests to pass.  The 7 tests affected are:

  aclocal4.test
  aclocal5.test
  aclocal6.test
  acloca14.test
  conff.test
  make.test
  remake5.test

Here's the patch:
