Please show grep '^SHELL =' alphaev67-dec-osf5.1/libjava/libltdl/Makefile and if you want Java enabled, please set and export CONFIG_SHELL to some bash instance before running $CONFIG_SHELL path/to/toplevel/configure ... as documented in the installation manual.
Wow, could this be checked for earlier? It goes a long way before erroring. Thanks. I'll try again with bash.
Maybe. Not all requirements from the installation manual can be checked easily. This one we can maybe fix, but for that please provide all information asked for. Thanks.
Waiting for feedback asked for in comment #1.

It looks like the machine I was using might not be available any longer. Sorry.
Closing as worksforme. If you (or anybody else) can reproduce this issue elsewhere, feel free to reopen. Thanks.
