Yup.  In fact, when I read your reply, I though you were replying to
that one.

I hadn't seen that patch when I filed the bug and my patch. I
retrieved the latest CVS snapshot just now, and 'make bootstrap'
fails with the same error if I leave my patch out:

...src/cvsbuild>make bootstrap
make[1]: Entering directory `/work/egcs/src/cvsbuild/libiberty'
if [ x"`case "-g -O2 -g -O2 -fno-implicit-templates" in *-fpic* )
echo -fpic ;; * ) echo -fPIC ;; esac`" != x ] && [ ! -d pic ]; then \
  mkdir pic; \
else true; fi
/bin/sh: syntax error at line 1: `end of file' unexpected
make[1]: *** [stamp-picdir] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/work/egcs/src/cvsbuild/libiberty'
make: *** [all-libiberty] Error 2

Obviously the " quotes are being dealt with before the ` quotes, so
the case statement is expanded verbatim into the 'if', and just
causes confusion. My patch catches the RESULT of the case statement
into a temporary, which is then used in the 'if'.
