Description

Hi,

it turns out that one of the shell scripts one might happen to use during the build, tools/dev/mk_native_pbc, uses a non-portable GNUism, in that it uses the C-like == in place of the standardized = operator to the test program.

The attached patch undoes this, improving portability. This was needed to get parrot 1.0.0 going on NetBSD/i386 4.0.

Applied in r37756.

This particular script is only used in internal development, and shouldn't be installed or used during the build. But, we aim for high portability in all our tools. Thanks for the fix!
