Details

Mozilla 0.9.3, Solaris 8.

For some insane reason /bin/sh on Solaris interprets ^ characters.
nspr-config.in contains this line (almost at the end of file):

if echo $i | grep ^-L >/dev/null; then

which gets copied into nspr-config. But since /bin/sh uses ^ for its own
purposes, grep gets "-L" as an argument, then complains about unknown flag and
the configure script fails.

The offending line could be changed to:

if echo $i | grep \^-L >/dev/null; then

which should work with all other shells, as well.
