+* Tests fail when I run "make check" on Solaris 10.
+
+The test suite expects a POSIX-conformant shell and utilities. Solaris
+10 does not offer these in the default $PATH. We try to use features
+standardized no later than POSIX Issue 4 (1994). Unfortunately even
+that is too recent for some implementations. Solaris 11 is believed to
+have a conforming shell. It may help to ensure that "/usr/xpg6/bin"
+and/or "/usr/xpg4/bin" precedes "/bin" and "/usr/bin/" in the $PATH when
+building groff.

Autoconf release earlier than 2.69, and I get this.
