When I try to build less-290, and I run configure, I get repeated =
complaints about a file not being found (./configure: 12780516: No such =
file or directory).

I have tracked this down to the use of the inline data construct to cat =
small
C programs into files to be compiled on the fly. This looks something =
like
the following:

cat > file.c <<EOF
int
main( int argc, char *argv )
	{
	return 0;
	}
EOF

When the shell script hits this line it gives the complaint about not =
being able to find the file in question (a name that looks like its a =
number).

The cygnus site shows that someone has successfully compiled less-290, =
so someone must have run into this?
