36         Don't use 'path' to talk about file names,
37         as per GNU coding standards.  Close a race condition reported by Ralf

52         `configure'.
53         * tests/ansi6.test, tests/ansi7.test: Likewise.
54         * tests/ansi9.test: Likewise.  Do not override by setting

90         fails to scan non-plain patterns from long lines.
91
92         * tests/overrid.test: Change all regexes for warning messages to
93         match after a colon, so that the prepended file names do not
94         cause false matches.  Tighten overrides regex.  Fix typo
95         `cleam-am-local' -> `clean-am-local'.
96
97         * tests/java.test: `configure' uses a trap, so use `(exit 77);
98         exit 77' to portably set the exit status similar to AS_EXIT.
99         * tests/fn99.test: propagate nonzero exit status from subshell.

101         * tests/mkinst3.test: Fix `mkdir' wrapper to not be confused

104         loop.
