1416752 - Error during execution of js/src/configure

Status: NEW

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Jean-Yves Avenard [:jya]]

It likely doesn't matter as configure run fines.

However, during ./mach build and the configure phase
you see the errror:
 0:20.93 js/src> /Users/jyavenard/Work/Mozilla/mozilla-central/js/src/old-configure: line 4927: test: too many arguments

(this is on OS X 10.13) using /usr/bin/clang and /usr/bin/clang++ as compiler)

I've seen these kinds of errors in other situations. It's probably just a poorly-written shell test that doesn't handle the value being empty. What does line 4927 in js/src/old-configure look like? It's usually not that hard to find the source line in old-configure.in just by looking at it.
