Platform: Solaris 8/SPARC
distname.test, subobj5.test and subobj6.test all fail with

FAIL: distname.test
(I'm pretty sure I have a working compiler. Didn't check the compile script
in detail.)
yacc7.test fails, too. The reason is that the builtin test in Solaris'
/bin/sh does not recognise -e. /bin/test OTOH does.
