FYI, it seems that on solaris 7 /usr/xpg4/bin/sh doesn't like this
construct in src/lib/libc/sys/makelintstub:
        arglist="`
        sed -e 'ta
                :a
                s,^/\* syscall: "'"$syscallname"'" ,,
                tb
                d
                :b
                s, \*/$,,' $syscalldump
        `"

arglist is empty after it has run. Sed is /usr/xpg4/bin/sed, and it's working
properly when shell is bash instead of sh. I checked that the content of
$syscalldump is identical with both shells.
