Thanks for moving to a new version ...

First of all, I have no idea what's wrong, because I've never seen this 
error before. Well, all these mentioned lines are empty lines in the 
config-lang.in and it seems that the configure script or better your 
shell tries to execute these empty lines when the config-lang.in file 
gets included into the configure script.

Just like I said, I tested the sample_fe front-end with my (x)ubuntu 
system in bootstrap mode, and I didn't face any problems.

For me it seems - without any proof - that your POSIX shell (/bin/sh) is 
 somehow broken. Which version of /bin/sh are you using? Because I 
don't have a Mandriva 2009 system by hand, I can't try to reproduce, but 
just for the case that you want to dig further into the problem, you 
could have a look into the configure script at lines 5066-5277.

But, maybe as a first start, you could create two shell scripts with the 
following contents. They should try to reproduce your phenomenon:

===== first.sh =====
#!/bin/sh

echo "START"
value=
. ./second.sh
echo "AFTER ${value}"
===== END first.sh


===== second.sh =====
echo "SECOND"

value=GCC

echo "END SECOND"
===== END second.sh =====

After creating these two files, keep the file permissions of second.sh 
at 644 and change the file permissions for first.sh to 755 and finally 
execute

# ./first.sh
START
SECOND
END SECOND
AFTER GCC

Maybe someone else on this list has an idea what could be wrong or has 
already seen this error before ...
