>Description:
	eval failes inside config.guess in that is generated from
	a configure that comes from a autoconf-current. heimdal uses
	such a generated configure.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	The following statements fails on 1.5H, but works on 1.5_ALPHA2, 
	solaris8 and OSF/1. So I think it have to do with the new expr.


expr X"lib/roken/Makefile" : 'X\(.*[^/]\)//*[^/][^/]*/*$' \| \
     X"lib/roken/Makefile" : 'X\(//\)[^/]' \| \
     X"lib/roken/Makefile" : 'X\(//\)$' \| \
     X"lib/roken/Makefile" : 'X\(/\)' \| \
     .   : '\(.\)'

	This should produce "lib/roken" (w/o quotes).

	Note that 

expr X"lib/roken/Makefile" : 'X\(.*[^/]\)//*[^/][^/]*/*$'

	does the right thing, so I think that the | somehow do the
	wrong thing.


>Fix:
	No clue.
