Solaris shell chokes on gcc/configure

[Donn Terry]

Sorry 'bout that.  I don't even HAVE a shell that doesn't understand
that construct.  It's the "Arithmetic Expansion" expression
required by POSIX.2 (3.6.4).  However, we're still limiting
ourselves to pre-POSIX shells.  (Otherwise I would have
used $() in other places, because the current alternatives
are truly horrible.)  ($() is also required by POSIX.2).

Patch to follow in a few minutes.
