Bug and Patch for Solaris 2 on x86-PC

[euler@lavielle.com (Lutz Euler)]

Hello,

I tried to compile and install "clisp-1997-08-07" on a pentium PC running
Solaris 2.4. "configure" ran into an error. See below for a complete
description and a patch.

Version:   clisp-1997-08-07
Sources:   clispsrc.tar.gz
           clispsrc-readline.tar.gz
Machine:   Pentium PC
OS:        SunOS 5.4 (Solaris 2.4) i86pc
Compiler:  gcc 2.7.2
Assembler: "/usr/ccs/bin/as" as delivered with Solaris

"configure" says:

It seems the assembler doesn't like the '#' comments.

It suggest to delete these lines (as is already done with the '#line' and
'#ident' lines) using grep. The following two files are affected:
    ffcall/avcall/Makefile.in
    ffcall/vacall/Makefile.in

Here is the patch:
