Description

When running configure on HP-UX, you see several times ./configure[4880]: : Execute permission denied. and ./configure[4880]: /lib64: not found..

This is caused by having the command substitution perfomed by backticks LDFLAGS="`SVN_REMOVE_STANDARD_LIB_DIR(...)`" and not with standard POSIX $().

See attached trace output w/o patch and with patch applied.
