[Bug bootstrap/37000] New: gen-classlist.sh uses unrecognized 'test' arguments

["deisner at gmail dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

[I can't decide if this should be reported against gcc or classpath.  Apologies
if I got it wrong.]

My gcc build is failing when gen-classlist.sh is invoked, in two places:

First place:

        top_builddir=..
top_srcdir=../../../../../../gcc-4.2.4/libjava/classpath /bin/sh
./gen-classlist.sh standard
        Adding java source files from srcdir
'../../../../../../gcc-4.2.4/libjava/classpath'.
        Adding java source files from VM directory
/export/data/software/cradle/build/gcc/gcc-4.2.4/libjava
        Adding java source files from VM directory
/export/data/software/cradle/build/gcc/objdir/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/sparcv9/libjava
        ./gen-classlist.sh: test: unknown operator -ef
        make: *** [genclasses] Error 1

Second place:

        Adding java source files from srcdir
'../../../../../../gcc-4.2.4/libjava/classpath'.
        Adding java source files from VM directory
/export/data/software/cradle/build/gcc/gcc-4.2.4/libjava
        Adding java source files from VM directory
/export/data/software/cradle/build/gcc/objdir/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/sparcv9/libjava
        Adding generated files in builddir '..'.
        ./gen-classlist.sh: test: argument expected
        make: *** [genclasses] Error 1

The first problem occurs because on Solaris 9, at least, the /bin/sh test
built-in doesn't understand the -ef operator, and the second problem occurs
because it doesn't understand the -e operator.  From the Solaris test(1) man
page:

---8<---
          file1 -ef file2
                True if file1 and file2 exist and  refer  to  the
                same file. (Not available in sh.)
...
          -e file
                True if file exists. (Not available in sh.)
--->8---

Workaround: In gen-classlist.sh, replace those two calls to test with
/usr/bin/test.
