>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE i386
>Environment:

Recent 2.2-STABLE with CFLAGS=	-O2 -m486 -pipe in /etc/make.conf

>Description:

We noticed this problem when sh(1) started to misbehave.
sh objects to a line in a script that looks like

foo=$((2 << 29))

>How-To-Repeat:

[make 2.2-STABLE with CFLAGS in /etc/make.conf as above]

cd /dev ; ./MAKEDEV

>Fix:
	
Workarounds:
1) remove 1 of -O2 or -m486
2) modify the offending line in the script to read
foo=$((2<<29))
   (ie remove the spaces on either side of <<)
