Bash 2.02 will not process the Makefiles produced by ./configure

all-recurse clean-recurse install-recurse check-recurse Makefiles-recurse:
        @case "`echo '$(MFLAGS)'|sed -e 's/ --.*$$//'`" in \
                *[ik]*) e=:;; *) e="exit 1";; esac; \
        for i in $(SUBDIRS) ; do \
                if test -d $$i ; then \
                        target=`echo $@|sed s/-recurse//`; \
                        echo "making $$target in $(CURRENT_DIR)$$i..."; \
                        if (cd $$i ; $(MAKE) CC="$(CC)" CCOPTS="$(CCOPTS)"
\
                            CURRENT_DIR=$(CURRENT_DIR)$$i/ $$target) then
:; \
                        else $$e; fi; \
                else \
                        echo "Skipping missing directory
$(CURRENT_DIR)$$i" ; \
                fi  \
        done


The make command would bring back a syntax error. If you change the last
'fi \' to 'fi ; \' it would work until it found the next Makefile with the
same syntax. I did a find -name Makefile in the src/ and got 97. Since I
am running Debian-1.2 I choose to downgrade back to bash 1.14 and it's
compiling fine now. 

I hope that this info is useful

This is going to need an explicit patch on the 1.0 branch since lots
of stuff has happened to post.in in the interim.

 Thank you for your bug report.  It's not clear from various bourne
 shell manpages whether the syntax is
 
 "for _name_ in _word_; do _list_ ; done"
 
 or
 
 "for _name_ in _word_; do _list_ done"
 
 And this seems to be a case where the ambiguity bites us.  The way to
 fix this without downgrading would be to edit the appropriate part of
 src/config/post.in, which is where the recursion rule occurs.
 
 We will be including this fix in a later release.
