I downloaded texinfo-2.16.tar.Z, size 516120, from gatekeeper.

Executing 'configure -prefix=/usr/local/gnu' on solaris 1 produces
sed: Ending delimiter missing on substitution: s?^prefix[       ]*=.*0prefix = /usr/local/gnu?

Problem is in lines 364 and 368 of configure:
 prsub="s?^prefix[     ]*=.*$?prefix = $prefix?"

 prsub="$prsub
 s?^exec_prefix[         ]*=.*$?exec_prefix = $exec_prefix?"

the $? is expanded by /bin/sh to 0.

Adding a backslash seems to fix it.

Patch follows.
This is being copied to bob@gnu.ai.mit.edu.
