The default shell in current 'dev' OpenIndiana does throw an error 
(when it should not).  This problem occurs when 'rm' is reported as 
/usr/xpg4/bin/rm rather than /usr/gnu/bin/rm.  The xpg4 version is 
emulated as a shell built-in (which is broken).

The next release of Automake has been declared to require correct 
behavior so I hope that someone fixes this (updates the ksh93 shell) 
in 'dev' OpenIndiana.
