bash problems

[Will Lowe <lowe@cis.udel.edu>]

Is there an error in the 2.0x versions of bash on ftp.debian.org?  I'm
trying to run a script called "makemake" in order to compile clisp,  and I
get a million errors like these:

./makemake: command substitution: line 1: missing closing `)' for arithmetic expression
./makemake: command substitution: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `2'
./makemake: command substitution: line 1: `((arch) 2>/dev/null || uname -m 2>/dev/null) | $tolower'
./makemake: command substitution: line 1: missing closing `)' for arithmetic expression
./makemake: command substitution: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `2'
./makemake: command substitution: line 1: `((uname) 2>/dev/null || arch 2>/dev/null) | $tolower'
./makemake: [: too many arguments
./makemake: [: =: unary operator expected

I'm a tcsh kinda guy,  so bash isn't something I'm generally familiar
with.  But the same script runs fine on a SunOS machine's version of bash,
so I don't think it's the script ...
