Cannot Generate loaddefs.el on Solaris

[Vin Shelton]

/bin/sh on Solaris has stricter syntax wrt the 'test' command than
bash does.  The !  (negation) operator cannot appear before the 'test'
command.  Without the attached patch, I cannot build the latest CVS
sources on Solaris (either 5.5.1 or 5.8) because loaddefs.el does not
get created properly.
