+       tests: avoid instspc.test failures due to make's whitespace trimming
+       * tests/instspc.test: Prepend './' when passing the test
+       characters, to avoid leading whitespace characters to be trimmed
+       from macros set from environment variables.  Fixes testsuite
+       failures with HP-UX, IRIX, and Tru64/OSF make.
