 Make check fails with two errors. Switching to use the sh shell (not BASH)
 and using gnu diff,  make check reports the following two failures:

Subject: release candidate 5 available

0.4.0rc5 is now available from
          http://footstool.stanford.edu/~blp/pspp-0.4.0rc5.tar.gz

This is a big change from rc4.  Even if you tested rc4 and found
it worked well for you, it would still be appreciated if you
would also try rc5.

Changes for rc5:

        - Adopted use of gnulib for portability.  This is a big source
          change, but the source tree was seriously not doing well on
          anything but GNU/Linux.  Anyone checking out the CVS tree
          now will also have to get a copy of gnulib.  See the updated
          README.CVS for details.

        - Importantly, does *not* append -ansi to GCC command line.
          Using -ansi changes the behavior of header files
          significantly.  It causes __STRICT_ANSI__ to be defined, and
          some headers interpret that as cause to e.g. not use `long
          long' or __attribute__.  The former example is bad when off_t
          is supposed to be `long long', and the latter prevents
          -Wformat from working.

        - Got rid of unused test.

        - Tested on GNU/Linux/i386 and Solaris/Sparc and fixed all
          problems found.

        - Updated to gettext 0.14.5.

        - Fix a few minor bugs found during above changes.

        - Updated INSTALL.
