Yes.  This is an updated version of compat-cleanup-2.diff, fixing that error.

So far, I have noticed a few other issues.

--without-getopt causes the build to fail.

compat-without.diff solves this.

SuSE 7.2 (using trunk quilt):

README.in -> README
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: `for program in ; do  test -x $program || chmod
+x $program;  done'

The current patches Andreas and I have in this thread fix this problem.

Solaris 2.8 sh:

/bin/sh: 
PATH=/export/home/all/johnv/workpits/quilt-compat/compat:/opt/oracle/product/8.1.7.4/bin:/opt/SUNWspro/bin/:/home/johnv/bin:/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/etc:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/local/acu:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/local/teas:
is not an identifier
make[1]: *** [reference] Error 1

This one has me scratching my head at the moment.  While it would be
great to know why, I am instead investigating supporting running quilt
directly from the quilt workarea:

/path/to/workpit/quilt/$cmd

This is essentially what the rules `reference' and `quilt.1' do, but
in a very limited fashion.

Im sure we will run into more issues, so these patches are not really
for submission at this stage.
