1. Bug in configure script for build postgresql

   Hi all!
   Yesterday-today I try to install postgresql, and I have noticed bug in
   configure script
   
   If path which you try to install postgresql from, contains "&" symbol, then
   configure doesn`t work correctly (it doesn`t make make file)
   
   It writes some thing like this:
   config.status: creating GNUmakefile
   sed: -e expression #1, char 358: unknown option to `s'
   config.status: creating src/Makefile.global
   sed: -e expression #1, char 374: unknown option to `s'
   
   
   I attach here my modify configure script, line ~30389
   I don`t good at scripting on shell, so I can`t change this script to the
   right way!
   
   And when I remove symbol "&" from path name - configure works correctly!

   I can reproduce this.

   No, you didn't.

   I think this is more than likely a bug in autoconf (which is used to
   generate configure) than in PostgreSQL.
